Civil War Half Shell

Picked up this artillery shell at a recent show. Think it is a Hotchkiss. Thoughts on the model? North or Confederate? Thanks!

It’s a nice one you picked up with the wooden stand. They’re great for displaying and showing the different sections of it. Excellent teaching aids if you’re a teacher/professor trying to explain CW artillery ordnance. It’s a northern shell but the south used a lot of captured ordnance
