This
is a neat 3'' Confederate Read shell. This is a real rare
pattern believed to be made at the Selma Arsenal in Alabama.
When fired this shell threw the sabot as many Confederate shells,
due to a design flaw in the tail section and inferior metal.
As you can see this shell did not explode and landed nose first.
The fuse remains in the shell but is badly boogered. You can
see the remnants of the lathe dog. The base has the classic
Confederate lathe dimple and a diamond pattern believed to be a
design of Selma. ''This shell has been drilled and is safe!''
This is a great Confederate shell that was fired in the south's
defense. Recovery site not known. $360.

blown clear of the ball. These are desirable fuses and can be
quit costly. $85.
