Description:This is the very hard to find pointed nose variety of the Dyer shell. The vast majority of small Dyers were case shot while this one is a common shell. The 1993 Dickey-George book shows this shell to be a rarity 7. The sabot is missing and the shell base shows some traces of solder along with the cross mark found cast on some of the Dyer shell bottoms. The iron is in decent shape but the fuse is in far better condition than most dug examples and still clearly shows the two spanner holes.
The shell is cleaned, coated and disarmed.
