Item Number: F00229

Price: $85

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: US

Type: Canister top plate

Size: 3.95in

Sabot:

Location Recovered: Unknown

Description:While it is tempting to think this plate is for a rare CS 4" gun, I have had enough of them over the years to feel it is for a 4.2in Parrott. Canister guru Dave Gotter agrees with me, by the way.

This is about 0.15" thick. I have had slightly thinner and much thicker ones so I think this is a hard-to-find top plate.
