Description:The long pattern Broun is a rarity 7+ in D&G as opposed to the short pattern which is a rarity 6, but I am telling you there are 6 or more short pattern Brouns out there for every long pattern one.
These shells were made for the 3" rifle, but later in the war with low grade iron. They also never retain their sabots in firing.
