This is a Confederate 3.3 Archer Bolt. This bolt is a reproduction of the original bolt found at the Battle of Shiloh. At Shiloh, there were only 2 artillery units capable of firing this shell, only 6 guns in total. This bolt is unfired and at one time or another was discarded or dropped. The original bolt was found in an area where these two units were at one time or another in battery. I strive to make these reproductions resemble the original bolt as close as possible. This bolt has imperfections and is not perfect. This reproduction has all the imperfections as original.
