The sabot is missing allowing you to see how the sabot was attached. The fuse (Schenkl Navy) is in excellent condition and reads, "J.P.Schenkl/Pat.Oct.1861."

AR312 3/4's of a Confederate 4.52" Howitzer Canister Round
Here is a very nice excavated Confederate relic. This is exactly 3/4 of a Confederate Howitzer Canister. Instead of the normal 29 balls for the common 12lb canister this one had 4 rows of 12 (48). This particular canister has two complete rows, the third row is missing two balls, and there are two balls on the top row. The canister plates are missing on this example. However if you would like one from the same site I have a few available. One of the canister balls on the bottom has a very long sprue. This trait is very common on Confederate Canister Balls. I can deliver this one to the Gettysburg show if you would like.
Measures approximately 4" tall and 5" in diameter.
