$595.00 SOLD

Item Code: R21878

This Tennessee Sabot pattern projectile is sometimes called the Mullane shell. This pattern has a characteristic saucer-shaped copper sabot. A center bolt and three pins held the sabot in place. This shell specimen was excavated and has a mostly open space where it once had a wood drive-in fuse adapter. It has been drilled down through the fuse to wash out powder. The iron body is moderately pitted and has been coated. The copper sabot is in place and solid. The center bolt and all three pins remain intact. This shell was recovered near the Bloody Angle area of Spotsylvania.  [JET]
