Beautiful
condition, excavated, brass, 3.8 inch James
percussion anvil cap. This is a Stones
River recovery and is quite rare to find as
there were not large numbers of James shells
fired. This example has a smooth,
brown/green patina and perfect threads.
It would easily screw right back into a
James projectile. The threaded portion
of the fuse is one inch in
diameter.--$95.SOLD
Absolutely
beautiful condition, excavated, solid brass,
one inch brass anvil cap and corresponding
slider to a 3.8 inch James projectile.

condition, excavated, 12 pound, solid shot
cannonball. This ball was recovered

ANOTHER Excellent
condition, 12 pound size, Confederate wood

This shell was recovered years ago a
few hundred yards behind the Federal Battery
that was firing down on McFadden’s Ford here
at Stones River.

like this one about 50 yards from where this
one was found.--$295.

disarmed and is ready for display. You
can easily still read the "second numbers"
on the Bormann fuse. The fuse is
punched at 4 1/2 seconds which is a fairly
long shot. Artillery projectiles as
nice as this one are rarely being recovered
anymore.--$395.SOLD
Quite
rare and in very pretty condition, "dropped"

Bormann cannonball recovered by Wade

lead/pewter, Bormann time fuse. This
fuse was recovered from here at Stones River
about 30 years ago a few hundred yards in
rear of the shop and was punched at about 3

MASSIVE,
wood drive-in fuse, 10 inch cannonball
picked up at Vicksburg, Mississippi,
immediately following the battle there.

been sitting in an historic home in
Vicksburg. The ball remains slick
enough to be fired today and has been stored
indoors the entire time since the Civil War.
This "big boy", as you can see, weighs just
shy of 100 pounds. Don't even think
about us shipping - you are going to need to
back up to the porch, and we will put it in
your trunk!!!--$395.SOLD

condition, unopened packet of "Frankford
Arsenal" 1864 date, 5-second artillery

PRETTY excavated drop 3-inch Confederate
Read-Broun. This shell was recovered
many years ago near Five Forks, Virginia.
These are only recovered at relatively late
war sites.--$650.
Very
nice condition, excavated, dropped,
Confederate used, imported, long pattern, 3-inch Armstrong
projectile. What make these shells
different and stand out are the large copper
studs that are imbedded in the shell that
engage the rifling upon firing. This
projectile was recovered many years ago near
Wilmington, North Carolina, and to this day,
remains rusty and dirty just as found.
These are only found in a relatively small
area and are quite rare to recover.--$695.

projectiles were found in the area.--$95.SOLD
Nice
condition original Civil War artillery
"Lanyard". It has signs of being
somewhat cruder than most that I'm used to
seeing, and think that it very well could be
Confederate. It shows clear signs of
actual field use.--$375.
Artillery
"gimlet" out of a local estate and is very
crude with a wooden handle. It shows
handling and use and could very well be
Confederate.--$95.

seconds you could almost send a Civil War
Projectile into the next time zone !!--$38.

years ago here at Stones River, and both are
nicely "J. P. SCHENKL" marked, and are

Original
non-excavated Civil War Artillery Flame
Concentrator. These were used to
channel the flame and hot gases from being
fired toward the paper time fuzes that were
filled with fulminate. These were
intended to reduce the number of time fuze
shells that the paper time fuze didn't light
and were duds.--$48.
Very
nice condition excavated 12 lb. Bormann
cannon ball recovered years ago from the
battlefield here at Stones River. It
was recovered from what was known for years
as the Homer Gannon farm. I,
personally, recovered many shells from this
farm, and found 8 in one hole one time.
I'm sure that it was battlefield clean-up as
there were 4 different kinds of shells in
the one hole, and all were fired. I
disarmed about 30 shells for this family
that they had picked up farming over the
years. Happily, members of the Gannon
family still come by to visit me (Faye and
Ray) from time to time now. A
mega-church sits on the site now.--$250.SOLD
Excavated
Hotchkiss brass percussion fuse plug from
the Second Day fightlng - Battle of
Nashville, TN. It appears that upon

fuses. These were recovered many years
ago here at Stones River. One is a
