14 Pdr James Rifle Shell in decent condition.
The finish I used was supposed to be Satin, which would have looked a lot better, but it came out too glossy.
This can be easily stripped and recoated if you want to do it.
The fuse is gone but the lead stricker that was inside the burst charge cavity still remains and goes with the shell. No sabot left.

Here's one of the best CW artillery rounds I've ever seen.
This Confederate-made 32 Pdr Stand of Grape is in near-perfect condition but has never been cleaned using electrolysis.
The round was recovered from inside the wreck of the ironclad CSS Ram Neuse back in the early 60s.
The Neuse was the first of only three Civil War ironclad vessels that have been raised (from the Neuse RIver in NC),
the others being the Cairo at Vicksburg and the other being a vessel down in Columbus Ga.
The raising project employed US Marines (in their spare time) as laborers for the work.
When the project was over the project management gave one round each to the three Marines who worked the entire time.
I acquired this round, indirectly, from one of those Marines and have a photo of him and the others
loading rounds from the Neuse into the back of a Navy pickup. I also have a statement from the person who got the round from the Marine circa 2002.
From the standpoint of condition, rarity and historical significance. You just can't do much better than this CS 32 Pdr Stand of Grape.

Here's a beautiful 24 Pdr Shell with almost perfect Bormann fuse. It is sitting on a metal stand.
This is a wonderful example of this type shell. Price may look high but the condition warrants it. More photos available upon request.
