Half of a large iron barshot with one large ball and square-shank bar, probably 1700s. 15 lb, 5" x 8". Heavy and solid ball, with surface corrosion only (one big pit), dark with tinge of orange, with 1-1/4" bar protruding and ending cleanly, so possibly just made as a "half shot" and not broken from a two-ball barshot. Pedigreed to the Henk L. Visser collection (Bonhams Knightsbridge, November 28, 2007).
