Description:This 10 pounder Parrott shell is super nice. The iron is very good with a nice dark natural finish. It is beautiful. The thick brass sabot the Type III type for the 10 pounder Parrott gun. The casting air vent sprue is clearly seen on the bottom with the chisel marks where it was removed. The inside of the shell clean and full of case shot. I believe the iron is preserved with WD-40 or some type of oil like substance, it is not polyurethane. A little TLC would make it a 10 out of 10.

Another nice thing about this shell is that the fuse adapter screws out. It is the longer white metal time adapter without a lip. If a different type of time adapter is desired I likely have one and can swap it out.

This shell is better than it appears in the pictures.

Shell is inert, clean and coated.
