This
is the finest excavated DROP James bolt that I've seen in years.
It was recovered at Shiloh many years ago and has been cleaned, coated,
and is ready for display. This baby has 100 % tin covered lead
wrap around the "birdcage" still intact. This projectile
is for the artillery guy that wants the best of the best.--$975.
 Quite
rare excavated 1864 date federal naval "watercap" fuze.
The fuze is in nice condition and is marked "1864 - ORD. D. -
anchor".--$95.
Excavated
3-inch blunt nose Schenkl projectile recovered from near Fredericksburg,
VA. It has the pewter combination fuze and has already been
cleaned and dis-armed and is ready for display.--$350.SOLD
Really
nice artillery grouping consisting of a non-excavated cannon friction
primer, a perfect 30 sec. time fuze, and a perfect excavated Parrott
time fuze. You won't see nicer quality items.--$125. for all
 Beautiful
condition excavated rare 3 inch "Flat Top" Hotchkiss
shell. This scarce projectile is only found at the Battle of
Nashville and a couple other late 1864 sites. It has been cleaned
- coated - and is ready for display.--$395.SOLD
 This
is an early battlefield pick-up 3.8 inch percussion Hotchkiss
nose. It had to have been picked up shortly after the war as it
still has an as issued smooth brown surface. The fuze hole is
open. This would be a nice addition to any collection.--$295.
 Really
nice condition excavated 6 lb. Confederate "High Lip" Bormann
fuzed cannon ball. The fuze is an unpunched beauty and you can
easily read the numbers. The ball has already been drilled,
cleaned, coated, and is ready for display. This is one that will
be tough to beat.--$550.
10
lb. Federal Parrott projectile recently recovered here at Stones
River. The shell is just as dug and is going to clean up really
nice. It has complete sabot and pewter fuze and has of course
already been drilled. It is rare to see a projectile this nice
recovered anymore.--$295.
Wood
drive-in fuze style Confederate 12 lb. ball of the type recovered at the
Brennan Cannon Foundry site in Nashville, TN. The ball has an open
fuze hole and has already been cleaned, coated, and is ready for
display.--$275.
12
lb. Bormann case shot ball that has been sectioned in half to show it's
construction and how it functioned. These are very helpful in
explaining to folks how Civil War artillery shells worked. You
will be amazed - Sectioned projectiles are almost always the pieces that
visitors find most interesting.--$195.SOLD
This
is without a doubt the most representative artillery projectile of the
American Civil War. It is a 12 lb. solid shot cannon ball. This one was recovered from the North Georgia campaign and is cleaned,
coated, and ready for display.--$195.
Really
nice condition 12 # Bormann fuzed cannon ball recovered from The Second
Day's Fighting - at The Battle of Nashville, TN. The Bormann fuze
is still nice enough to read several of the numbers and the iron quality
is fantastic. The ball hasn't ever even been cleaned and the iron
surface is already slick as can be. This one is going to clean up
to museum quality.--$375.
10
lb. Union Parrott projectile recovered at the Battle of Stones
River. The shell is in nice condition and has already been
cleaned, coated, and is ready for display.--$295.
 Quite
rare 12 lb. size "Braile" Bormann fuzed cannon ball.
This scarce projectile is distinguished by the fuze having a series of
one dot to five dots instead of the numbers one through five.
Rumor has always had it that these were for night firing but I
personally question that and suspect that it was just another way of
numbering by some obscure manufacturer. At any rate these are rare
as chicken's teeth.--$450.
 Original
Civil War tin straps for attaching the cannon ball to the wooden sabot
for firing. This size strap can be used on the 24 lb. ball or cut
shorter and used on the 12 lb. ball. They originally came from
Bannerman and used to be seen for sale every so often but are hardly
ever seen offered anymore. An original strap when coupled with an
original cannon ball and a turned wooden sabot makes for a wonderful
artillery display piece to demonstrate what a cannon ball on sabot ready
for firing looked like. I have four of these. While they
last !!--$69. each
