Item Number: A00737

Item Title: Rarity 10 Combination-fuzed type III Hotchkiss shell

Price: $295

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: US

Type: Type III Hotchkiss shell

Size: 3in

Sabot: Lead driving band

Fuse: Combination fuse

Book:
Dickey and George (1993 Edition) Page 169

Location Recovered: Atlanta, but ooks like one of the Gettysburg ones

Description:This came with an Atlanta provenance but sure looks like one of the Gettysburg monument shells. The book lists these as rarity 10 and if true this is the cheapest rarity 10 shell ever! It has a Wright time fuse, but the center percussion piece is not the proper kind of Hotchkiss percussion fuse to go with it I don't think. It is also just the top half of the fuse and screws in and out easily.
