U00422 - Rare extra long pattern CS time fuse for case shot shells
Sorry, this item is no longer available!



Item Number: U00422

Item Title: Rare extra long pattern CS time fuse for case shot shells

Price: $145

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: CS

Type: Extra long tapered copper CS time fuse adapter

Shell Type: Case shot Read shells

Thread Diameter: 1

Thread Count: 12

Book: Jones bottom of page 40

Location Recovered: Chancellorsville

Description:At a bit over 2 1/4 inches long, this is longer than the normal CS time fuse adapter, presumably to take a longer and thus longer burning paper time fuse than the normal ones. This type is uncommon and found mostly, if not only, near Chancellorsville.

The Yankees foolishly abandoned Hazel Grove and Porter Alexander swooped into that superior artillery platform. From there he needed long range case shot shells to chase the Union forces back across the Rapidan. That is where these distinctive fuses are recovered.
