Description:You hardly ever see these shells with their sabots intact like this one. The cut in the sabot is actually a flame groove. I got this at the Marietta Show nearly a decade ago, and it has been in my personal collection ever since.

This is the flat bottom version of this rarity 8+ shell, and with a complete sabot it is probably a 9+ It looks better in person than the pictures show, a top notch example.
