CONFEDERATE SIDELOADER CANNON BALL
Late war Confederate side loader cannon ball. This shell was battlefield recovered at Petersburg Virginia. The Confederates went from copper to lead to iron regarding the plug placed in the side of the shell where the canister balls and powder were loaded. This cannon ball corresponds to the one pictures as Figure III-11 in Dickey and George's book only instead of a copper plug this one has been cast over. You can clearly see on this shell where the side loader plug is suppose to go.

RARE CONFEDERATE ARCHER SHELL W/ SABOT
This is a rare Confederate Archer shell that has been fired and retains most of its sabot. The great majority of these shells that have been fired threw their sabots. This Archer bolt is Figure III-48 in Dickey and George's book. You really don't see these shells for sale that often. These shells were used by Confederate artillery in the eastern theater until 1862 and the western theater on in to 1863. The shell measures approximately 6 inches in height.

100 LB PARROT SHELL
This 100 pound Parrot shell was found in Petersburg Virginia and has been in my collection for some time now. You would not have wanted to be on the receiving end of this one as it is a real show stopper. Part of the zinc fuse remains. This artillery shell measures approximately 15 inches tall and is 6.4 inches in diameter. This shell has been fired and remains intact with some minor professional restoration of a crack as a result of having been fired. See page 297 of Jack Bell's book on Heavy Ordnance.
