This is a wonderful big shell for an affordable price! It is an original Civil War 7 inch diameter cannon shell of the Dyer patent design. This is the style that is illustrated on page #225 of the heavy artillery projectile book by Jack Bell. They were fired out of the rifled 42# cannon and were almost exclusively heavily used along the Mississippi River naval engagements including Island #10 and Vicksburg. This one is missing the Sabot as is usually the case with these, but the condition of the metal is Superb. Smooth and clean. It has been unloaded and coated and is perfectly safe, inert, and ready for display. A Great Heavy Artillerly piece for your shell collection.
