Item Title: 4.2in Hotchkiss shell from Vicksburg

Price: $295

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: US

Type: Hotchkiss shell

Size: 4.2in

Sabot:

Fuse: Wood adapter, missing

Book:
Jack Bell Page 242v

Location Recovered: Vicksburg

Description:Impressive large Hotchkiss shell in 2 pieces, the base cup and the nose. Unfortunately the sabot was lost on firing, but the patina matches nicely on these two pieces recovered together in the Vicksburg area. I think it is cool how they fit together and demonstrate the workings of these great shells. Large Hotchkiss projectiles are tough to come by.
