Solid shot version of the distinctive, hollow-base projectile for use with the muzzle-loading 14-pounder James Rifle. The projectile measures just under 4? in diameter and stands 6 7/8? from base to the pointed tip, and weighs 12 lbs. 5 oz. The cast iron bolt has a generally rough surface with an overall dark brown patina that also exhibits brighter red oxidation along the helical slits around the base. The base was originally covered by a sheet tin and canvas covered soft lead sabot but these would've been shed almost immediately upon leaving the muzzle of the gun. These distinctive projectiles are quite desirable and this example is in very good condition.
