This relic is a large artillery shell fragment, being the lower portion of a 3” Parrott-style shell with a brass sabot. This fragment is 5” tall. Iron is rusty and pitted. The portion of the sabot remaining has a green patina and shows rifling.

This comes from the Gregory A. Coco collection. He recovered this in 1975 at Bayou de Glaise, Louisiana, as part of the Red River Campaign.

Gregory A. Coco was born in Marksville, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana in 1946. He served in Vietnam and was a Park Ranger at Gettysburg NMP for many years. Greg enjoyed historical research and authored many books relating to the Battle of Gettysburg, most notably “A Vast Sea of Misery” and “A Strange and Blighted Land”.

Nice relic.  [jet][ph:L]
