What is great is the fired projectile thatis stuck back into it. I have to imagine it is a test shot, either to test thearmor it was fired at, or the projectile itself. Either way, it had to hit deadon flat against the armor to produce the perfect mushroom that it did. It justhad to come home with me from the antique store.
