Description:
A very popular gun during the American Civil War, the 9" Dahlgren gun could be found most anywhere there was a ship or a fort. But much of what they were fired was at ships and forts so they landed in the water or marshes, etc. But that said they fired a lot of them and they are still not too heavy at 70 pounds to move around plus have that nice dated water cap fuse.

Location of this one is unknown but it didn't come out of the marsh or water. Condition is excellent. The perfect water cap fuse (not original) is dated 1861 and screws in and out easily. An excellent addition to the collection.

Shell is inert, cleaned and coated.
