Location Recovered: Vicksburg

Description:This is a nice Parrott bolt recovered from Vicksburg, MS. The previous owner told me it was fired by Battery Yost into Vicksburg during the siege. It was dug from the backyard of an old house which now stands where woods were during the siege and this is probably an overshot.

Mint shell that has not been coated or anything. I can apply spray polyurethane to it if desired, but some of our customers prefer their artillery projectiles au naturel.
