A00845 - Uncommon high band 10pdr Parrott type II shell
Sorry, this item is no longer available!



Item Number: A00845

Item Title: Uncommon high band 10pdr Parrott type II shell

Price: $275

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: US

Type: Type II Parrott

Size: 10pdr

Sabot: Rabbeted brass badn

Fuse: Missing

Book:
Dickey and George (1993 Edition) Page 225

Location Recovered:

Description:Parrotts of this type are relatively uncommon because their sabot type was prone to flying off and striking friendly forces. Most recovered do not have their sabots, but this one appears to be unfired and still has its rabbeted brass band sabot.

If you want to improve this shell further, I have a Parrott fuse listed separately that would screw into this shell if the threads were cleaned just a bit.
