Description:This is a very decent Read that I think is the style noted in the books as the Tredegar Style. It has very faint traces of having the wide bourrelet just below the ogive of the nose. The sabot is the thin wrought iron type and is still almost all there which is uncommon. The fuse is the common CS time fuse adapter for the paper time fuse and is in good shape. it is the less common type with the rounded edge on it. the iron is very solid although it does have some ground action on it with a couple spots as big as my thumbnail. But it is a great shell for the price. If mint this would be a $350 shell but I got it right and am selling it right.
Shell is disarmed, cleaned, and coated.
