    This
is an extremely rare base and sabot section of a Confederate 3''
Selma Read shell. The very thick brass sabot is completely
intact with the iron base and even has the flame groove in the
sabot. The base is the Selma Arsenal type that is bulbed with
a classic Confederate lathe dimple. Neat Artillery relic.
$89.

   This
is a cool and very nice example of a Confederate 12lb. side loader
filled with case shot. The brass fuse adapter is in wonderful
shape as well as the lead side plug. The real neat thing about
this shell is the manufacturing flaw where the mold seam came
together. What then was crude craftsmanship is a beauty mark
for true southern collectors. Excavated at Petersburg,
Virginia. $395.

 Here
is a great 1'' iron canister shot from the historical ''Battle of
Murfreesboro''. These were very deadly as they were scattered
across the battlefield. $6.

    This
is a great example of a Confederate manufactured 3'' long pattern
Read / Broun Artillery shell. This shell has the copper fuse
adapter intact and the classic lathe dimple in the base. The
copper / brass sabot was thrown on firing due to a design flaw which
is quite common in Confederate shells. This shell is safe and
has been disarmed. The small sticker on the shell says that it was
dug at Petersburg, Virginia. $395.
