ar6/ 12 pound Bormann display

$325.00

This is an authentic 12 pound Bormann case shot that has been disarmed and cut in half to visually display how they were manufactured at the arsenals. These were fired from the Napoleon  cannons!

ar5/ 3" Hotchkiss Base and Sabot

$85.00

This pair was dug in Vicksburg, Mississippi and is the base to a 3" Hotchkiss shell that has some flaking & pitting to the iron but can be cleaned and coated to prevent further flaking of iron. The lead Sabot shows signs of rifling and is a complete and heavy piece of lead. The # 69 may be a museum reference number. This is a nice piece of history from the Siege of Vicksburg!

ar4/ Solid Shot (24 lbs.) Vicksburg, MS.

$345.00

Nice (Siege of Vicksburg, MS) relic. Nothing exciting to add about this solid shot other than it is very stable with minor pitting and has been lightly coated to prevent it from rusting. (BUT) if it could talk it could tell you a thing or two about Vicksburg in 63' !!       

ar1/ 24 lb solid shot fro the "Seize of Vicksburg"

$285.00

(No where to run)  This 24 lb solid shot done some damage when it impacted the earth. You can only imagine the fear the citizens of Vicksburg, Ms. were going threw when Grant started bomb barding the city continuously.  This shell is a reminder of the harsh and brutal times that has long been forgotten in most eyes " except for us Civil War history nut's".

This shell is very stable and does not flack. It has been lightly coated with a poly urethane substance to protect it from further decaying. Both pieces match perfectly when put together. You can see the point of impact that caused the shell to break apart. What a nice relic from" The Seize of  Vicksburg.
