Price: $180

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: US

Type: Hotchkiss

Size: 2.6in

Sabot: Lead driving band

Fuse: Missing

Book:
Dickey and George (1993 Edition) Page 161

Location Recovered: Cross Keys battlefield

Description:Rare shell which someone started to restore and stopped mid job. I have seen the noses alone go for more than the price for all 3 parts here and a nice, complete one of these shells goes for 5+ times over the price of this one. Base cup and nose are stuck, likely epoxied, together. There is definitely some Bondo on the nose section and the sabot is lead, not putty!, but split to allow it to be reshaped on the shell. No fuse present and the shell is empty. You can while away plenty of time on this project.
