MISSIONARY POSITION ~  This " ground burst " 10 lb. parrot was fired from a
position along Missionary Ridge.  The digger was able to find all the pieces and
reassemble the shell.  This bad boy aint nothing but cool, when you shake it
you can hear the case shot inside.  Attractive relic, for being blown up!

SOLD
WHISTLING DEATH   ~   Excavated 3.8 inch "BIRD CAGE" James projectile
recovered from Shiloh in the 1970s.  This shell was well known during the Civil
War for the distinctive "whistling" sound it made as it came in.  The shell has
been disarmed, cleaned, coated and is ready for display.

SOLD
EARLY SHILOH PICK UP  ~  Rare unpunched drop from The battle of Shiloh!  
This example is a  6 lb. Confederate Bormann Fuzed Common Shell in
wonderful condition.  Confederate artillery of this size and condition and
especially unpunched are seldom seen for sale.  Super Confederate relic ready
for display and in no need to upgrade condition.  Another quality REBEL RELIC
from REBEL RELICS  . . . . . . . . . It could be a long time before one this nice is
offered again!


SOLD
REBEL RELIC ART  ~   Wow,  A Confederate 12lb. cannon ball with "old school"
artwork.  This ball came out of a U.C.V. Veterans Hall and is being offered for
the first time ever.  The metal is in great shape and looks to be a early pick up.  
Wonderful relic with vintage looks and displays beautiful.  It will be awhile before
we see another relic like this one.

SOLD
THE HITS JUST KEEP COMING  ~   Hard to find on the market and very
collectible 6 lb. Boremann cannon ball.  You will wear out a pair of good boots
trying to find these shells at a show!  This ball is not as nice as the previous ball
I listed but still a very nice relic.  This shell has been drilled and coated and is
ready for display.  Confederate artillery is highly sought after and this example
is one every collection needs half a dozen of.  

SOLD
RARE REBEL RELIC ARTILLERY   ~   Absolutely super rare Confederate
Artillery Shell dug in Murfreesboro, Tn.  This shell has a rarity of "10" and
maybe only one of five known.  The sabot is missing which is normal due to the
construction of the shell.  This rare REBEL RELIC is in very nice condition and
has been professionally disarmed.  This is a Confederate Relic you may never
see again . . . . . . . . . and one that even advanced collections are missing.

SOLD
IT'S A BIRD . . . . IT'S A PLANE  . . .  ~  It is a Civil War Artillery shell from The
Battle of Nashville and is in great shape!  If you have been thinking about
adding a artillery shell to your collection this one will scratch your itch ! ! !   
Beautiful 3" Hotchkiss and rare to be complete with fuse, sabot, nose, and cup.  
Shell is cleaned and disarmed and ready for display.  REBEL RELIC PRICED,
which means you pay more somewhere else! ! !

SOLD
CONFEDERATE #6  ~   Another super rare REBEL RELIC . . . . .  Original
Confederate 6lb.  with  wood sabot.  Originally sold by Larry Hicklen and just
beautiful to look at and hold.  This is a example that most collections are
missing and not ever seen for sale.  REBEL RELIC PRICED  . . . . . . . . . . ..

SOLD
WHISTLE OF DEATH  ~   This is one cage even Dale Earnhardt Sr. would not
want to rattle. . . . . . . . . . .   Slick Civil War "JAMES SHELL" with I think part of
the fuse inside the shell.  This is a clean example with 3.8 inch loads of eye
appeal ! !  The shell is said to give away it's approach with a whistling sound.  
Sounds like this one ought to be named a "CLINT EASTWOOD" shell.  If your
collection is lacking one this example should wet your whistle.

SOLD
SHILOH ARTILLERY  ~   Really nice 6lb. Civil War excavated artillery shell.  
There is a seam visible on the ball and check out that fuse.  This is a above
average condition piece of artillery and has been disarmed.  The metal is nice
and displays beautiful.   I picked this example up this weekend and REBEL
RELIC PRICED . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

SOLD
FEED THE YANKEES SOME GRAPES . . . . . . .  ~   Some how I bet those words
may have been shouted.  This piece of Civil War Artillery was excavated near
the battle of Shiloh.  This example was carefully put back together and displays
awesome.  Talk about sour grapes . . . . . . .

SOLD
 
BALLS OF IRON  ~   I bet it did take "balls of iron" to charge across open fields
knowing death was certain.  Nice 12 lb. Solid Civil War ball with good eye
appeal.  I bought this from a local dealer many years ago and was told it was
from the 2cd. day fighting  . . . . .  Battle of Nashville.  REBEL RELIC PRICED to
blast out of here.

SOLD
PROFESSIONALLY DISARMED  ~   Pretty cool piece of Civil War artillery  . . . . .
. . . . .  This round was fired in anger and excavated and put back together.  It is
one cool puzzle of death and destruction.  Ground bursts are rare and make for
a really unique display and conversation piece.  Notice the different sizes of the
shrapnel  . . .  . . . . . .  OUCH ! !

SOLD
 
GOT BALLS  ~   I picked these three amigos up this weekend from a local
collector.  He had bought them from a local dealer and decided to trade them in
on a new REBEL RELIC.  The history gave to him when purchased was from the
2nd. day fighting at The Battle of Nashville.  All three artillery rounds are in
good and solid . . . sorry about the pun . . .  We have here a 24 lb. 12 lb. 6 lb.
solid shot and the fancy brass stands are my gift to the buyer.  REBEL RELIC
HUMP DAY PRICED . . . . . . . . .
