US Schenkl 30 pdr CS Conversion (p. 203)

Federal converted to Confederate use

An interesting specimen which has been fitted with the standard Confederate copper fuze plug.  Apparently the projectile was chucked in a lathe when the fuze hole was re-bored and re-threaded, as it has a typical center pin depression in the base.
