Description:Nose and base cup to a 2.6in shell for the Wiard rifle. These are tough shells to get -- rarity 8+ in D&G. The iron percussion fuse anvil cap on this one unscrews for display and the iron nipple comes out of the slider to expose the inerting hole. I have not applied pressure to separate the base cup and nose which are stuck together but probably could be separated. Neat display piece.
