Comments: According to "Field Artillery Projectiles of the American Civil War Revised and Supplemented 1993 Edition", by Thomas S. Dickey and Peter C. George, on page 32, "almost all (6-pdr side-loaders case-shots) have come from 1864-65 Va. and N.C. sites".
Six-pounder "side-loader" case-shots are rarely recovered and therefore rarely available. Here is an opportunity to add an example to your Civil War artillery or general relic collection.
