Description:I have been holding off listing this while other people blew out lesser ones that had depressed the market. These used to be $1,000 shells (I myself paid $900 for this one unfortunately), but quite a few fuseless Union fired ones subsequently hit the market and I wasn't going to give this one away and take any more of a loss. The fuse alone is worth $450 dollars. Fortunately, this one tumbled in flight and hit on the sabot as can be seen. Displays beautifully. I have owned quite a few of these and this is the best fired one I have had for sale.
