This pattern Read has a nose that is slightly smaller than the rest of the projectile, giving it the "sleeved" look. Has the remains of the lathe dog near the perfect CS copper time fuse adapter. This fired projectile missing the copper tapered ring sabot along with most of the body base, a problem with this type of projectile seen through the war. Fired from a 2.9"10-pounder gun, shell has never been cleaned. Moderate surface rust/pitting.
