A friend was asking me about a 3.3in Marshall, Texas Read I had so I got to looking at my little group of these uncommon shells. I have 2 different 3in ones: The one from Poison Springs has a copper sabot that goes across the bottom completely and the other one has a copper ring sabot with the iron base showing on the bottom. There's the 3.3in on the left.
The fat one second from the right is a 3.8" which is not listed in any books. These were for captured James rifles and dumped on the Jenkins Ferry retreat. I only know of 2 of them, both from the same recovery area. Unfortunately, I don't have either the 2.25" or 3.5in types shown in D&G.
Been meaning to post some eye candy here for a year or two and am finally getting around to it!
