    Civil War Dug Confederate Grape shot on piece of 12 Pounder Artillery Shell. This piece was dug from Gettysburg-where over 51,000 troops died on both sides. The item is a piece of a 12 Pounder shell with an attached Grape shot. What a piece of History.
    Canister-shot for a 12-pounder cannon. The canister has a wood sabot, iron dividing plate, and thirty-seven cast-iron grape shot. The grapeshot all have mold-seam lines, and some have sprue projections. The cylindrical canister has a soldered seam up one side and was nailed to the sabot, which was cut with two encircling grooves. A second plate inside the canister was loose. An iron disc divider was also present.
