Book: Dickey and George (1993 Edition) Page 117

Location Recovered: Spanish Fort

Description:Here is one you are not likely to see again. The 1993 Dickey & George lists this as a rarity 9+ shell so its tight to begin with, but then the metal is super hard British iron, bordering on steel. A couple saw blades died trying to cut this bad boy.

A very neat aspect of it is that you can see the lines of weakness between the segmented case shot which were cast in the shell. The lines of weakness allowed these to break into trapezoidal chunks when the shell blew up.
