Civil War 12-Pounder Cannonball Shell (Inert)

Authentic cast iron explosive shell from the American Civil War era. This 12-pounder projectile was designed to be filled with black powder and fitted with a fuse, making it far deadlier than a solid cannonball. Fired from smoothbore cannons like the famous Napoleon 12-pounder, shells like this were used in major battles from 1861–1865.
