Winchester Hotchkiss cannon round

Floyd58523
I have an opportunity to purchase a Winchester Hotchkiss cannon round with the Date of 5-91 that would be 1891. The primer is intact and the round is a semi pointed round. Does not appear to be an explosive round. Are these legal to possess or would it have to be deactivated.

    The HE ones have a flat tip brass fuse in the nose.
    No problem owning it (unless it is a HE warhead).

    As long as it does not contain more than 1/4 ounce of explosive it is just a big heavy door stop, but "does not appear to be explosive" leaves room for doubt.

    No brass tip, Looks like a solid almost practice round. I will go back and see if he still has it. Any Idea on a price to offer him?
    Thank you for your help
