Comon Mike Share,
    Are you discovering any one of a kind shells?

The fabulous collection above has some very uncommon shells in it.  There is much more that is not shown in the above picture as well.  If you like artillery your blood pressure would rise considerably when you walked into the display room shown above.  It was amazing.
Best,
Carl

Yes, and yes.

I am just preparing a new inventory of the collection, and will surely need help in IDing some of the stuff. There are about 500 projectiles that need to be re-weighed, re-measured, and described. As I go, I will post stuff here for scrutiny.

Thanks in advance, gentlemen. You are always welcome to come for a look and a drink on the porch. Just drop me a private line. 

I might have another party there during the next Marietta show on August 13th and 14th.

Wow!!! What a site to see. I am extremely impressed with the display Mike photographed and posted here. I am strictly a bullet collector and Mike is doing his best to get me into artillery. After seeing this collection I may be inclined to start collecting the big bullets. Fantastic collection. Thanks for letting Mike share it with the rest of us.

Wow, Very nice collection. I know you are proud of it. Congratulations. Makes my puny 18 shell collection look sad. LOL.
