CS 4.2  TENNESSEE SABOT (MULLANE) SHELL
CS 4.2" TENNESSEE SABOT (MULLANE) SHELL. Excavated. Fired. Extremely rare, only a handful known to exist and this is probably the finest of the known specimens. Found by Dr. Neal Brown near Vicksburg, Mississippi (only known location). A distinct and clear "G" is stamped on the nose, which indicates Selma Arsenal manufacture. There remains high detail of the machining to one side of the shell. The copper sabot is a rare variant, which has clear impressions of the Confederate rifle cannon as well as an unusual hex-headed bolt holding the sabot in place. CONDITION: Very fine with light pitting in spots and sabot is very fine. 4-55914 JM27 (2,500-3,200)
