Looking for a 24 Pdr. Projectile

Joined
Sep 3, 2015
I know this is a long shot, but you never know until you ask. I'm looking to acquire a 24 Pdr. shell or case shot from Shiloh, Raymond or Champion Hill. The 1st Illinois Light Artillery Battery D aka McAllister's Battery was at all three of these sights. They had the only 24 Pdr. field howitzers in all three of these battles. So, if I could find a 24Pdr. projectile with a Bormann Fuse from one of these battlefields I know who fired it. I believe I have a limber chest from McAllister's Battery and I would like to place a projectile fired by them back in the chest. Thanks you for your interest in my project.

Would you be able to share photos of the limber, please?
 
The easiest way to see the chest is go to my website StarkvilleCivilWarArsenal.com and click on the menu and look at Featured Items. The 24 Pdr. Chest is listed and will show show several photos.
