Civil War Artillery Collection – Five-Piece Historic Projectile Lot
20-Pounder Parrott | Chain Shot | 10-Pound Ball with Fuze | Quartered 10-Pound Shell | Canister Shot
Offered from my personal Civil War relic collection is an impressive assortment of five artillery-related projectiles, acquired over time from established Civil War relic dealers, including Middle Tennessee Relics and Shiloh Relics, as well as other private collectors.
The collection is being offered together as one complete lot.
The Collection Includes
1. 20-Pounder Parrott Projectile
Large elongated artillery projectile identified as a 20-pounder Parrott. A substantial and visually impressive centerpiece for the collection.
2. Chain Shot
An artillery projectile identified as chain shot, featuring an attached ring component. An interesting example of specialized artillery ammunition.
3. 10-Pound Artillery Ball with Fuze
Spherical artillery projectile identified as a 10-pound ball, retaining a visible fuze fitting.
4. Quartered 10-Pound Artillery Shell
A sectioned 10-pound artillery shell displaying its interior construction. An especially interesting piece for historical study and display.
5. Canister Shot
A smaller spherical projectile identified as canister shot, representing another type of ammunition used in Civil War artillery.
Condition
All five pieces exhibit varying degrees of oxidation, surface corrosion, pitting, and age-related wear.
All five have been drilled, as reported by the owner. Their complete deactivation histories have not been independently verified.
Please review the photographs carefully for the condition of each individual piece.
Collection History
The collection was assembled through purchases from Middle Tennessee Relics, Shiloh Relics, and private collectors.
Individual battlefield recovery locations and exact projectile identifications have not been independently documented.
Historical Interest
This assortment illustrates several different forms of artillery ammunition associated with the American Civil War.
The combination of a large Parrott projectile, specialized chain shot, spherical shell with fuze, quartered shell, and canister shot makes an attractive educational or historical display collection.
Important Safety Information
Drilled condition alone does not establish that an artillery projectile is completely inert or free of explosive material.
Offered as one five-piece collection. Not being separated.
