Title: Mansfield #5

This is pretty near my favorite from the weekend spendfest.  Walked in.  A local had been using it as a doorstop.  Its a pretty rare 4.2in Selma disc sabotted bolt.  Its the first projectile in the "Selma" section of Jack Bell's book.  I had never seen one before.

Has the "R" stamped in the sabot for extra character:
