Price: $90

Provenance: CS

Type: Read

Location Recovered: Unknown

Description:This is a neat frag. It appears the shell hit something and broke in half. The sabot end of the shell is missing leaving about 2/3rds of the body and the fuse end. There are also two fragments that came loose during electrolysis and fit nicely in place.

The body is partially filled with concreted powder. A hole in the very bottom allowed any loose powder to be removed; the remaining concretion is inert. The perfect copper CS time adapter is still present.

A super display piece. This shell is disarmed, cleaned and coated.
