I scored a nice addition to the Gettysburg artillery shell collection. A 20lb Parrott shell with it's nose blown out from the Gettysburg battlefield. Provenance included states it is from the Military Order of the Loyal Legion Library and Museum in Philadelphia which later became the Civil War Library and Museum. Looks like it also impacted something . Union forces had six 20 pounders, the Confederates twelve.
