Description:Bargain priced section of a Hotchkiss nose. I like these because they clearly show the workings of these shells -- powder chamber, pusher plate, balls and thin iron at the nose point for the balls to more easily spray out directionally. After paying for this piece, plus its disarming, cutting & shipping, this is a real loser for me financially so don't expect to see many more for sale. Merry Christmas!
