Description:I picked this up from the digger at the Franklin Show. It is a pretty decent 3-inch Dyer shell at a great price. It's weight is 6 pounds so I would guess it to be a common shell but I have not determined that for sure yet. The fuse is real nice unlike most and shows clearly the spanner holes. The iron is mostly smooth with a little scaling on one side but all in all a great example of a shell.

The shell has been disarmed, cleaned and coated.
