Description:This is a gorgeous 3in Read of what Pete George calls the "Virginia Prototype" pattern. It has a nice lathe dog as well as a complete sabot with terrific rifling marks. It would be very difficult to find a nicer dug Read shell than this one.
And yes, I wrote that about the one that just sold in under 24 hours as well. Folks who are holding back thinking these are going to keep on coming out will be sorely disappointed. It is tough to find nice Reads these days and always has been to find fired ones with complete sabots and iron.
