Description: 2 piece Hotchkiss percussion fuse recovered at Vicksburg. I have run the iron anvil section through electrolysis and preserved it with Chesterton's Rust Transformer. The tube of the slider is slightly swollen in the center from firing.
This is a surprisingly tough fuse to get. I had two of them and this is the second & final one. The other one sold a couple hours after I listed it.
