Description:These rare shells were fired from Red Fort in Spanish Fort, AL. I believe it was Lumpkin's Battery that had the 6pdr they derisively called a "popgun" there. This is a very rare shell Rarity 8 in D&G) and to have the fuse hole frag is quite special. I put it next to a standard 12pdr fuse hole frag to show the difference in size, but the 12pdr one is not for sale.
