Description:This Parrott has the nice brass ring full intact sabot showing excellent rifling. The brass exhibits a nice copper brown patina as well. The shell's iron is very good with a peppering of small rust spots on an otherwise smooth and hard iron body. You can clearly make out the chatter rings of the sizing ring all the way down the side of the shell. The fuse adapter is very white and has little flaking. It still sticks up well above the top of the iron unlike many that are found and the two spanner holes are quite evident. The weight is 9lb 12.5oz so this shell is most certainly a case shot shell. Don't miss this really nice example of a 10-lber Parrott for the money.
