    The item has a brass plaque with Cyrillic script which translates as souvenir of Sebastopol.

     
    Made from four steel shot of  0.9 inch calibre and one steel shot of 2.1 inch calibre
     
    Currently, I can't say what what type of artillery weapon these balls are a signature of, although its possible one or both were cannister or grape shot.
     
    The mass of the small iron ball is calculated as being originally ~ 2oz and the larger one would have originally been ~ 1.5 lb although the larger one has been hollowed out for the ink reservoir. 
     
    As I haven't been able to find another example of this type to firm up my subjective thoughts on price offers are invited.

    Rcmilitaria.co.uk Militaria Collector/ reseller As a collector of antique militaria and ancient coin I'm now trying to rationalise my collections and just restrict myself to having a few items such as from the Georgian Period which is my main interest. I also have a personal library of antique reference books which I sell as well. All items are legal for collectors to own with the exception of edged weapons for those under the age of 18. Please contact me with enquiries if you think we may have any overlapping interests.
