Description:
10pdr Parrott with the hard-to-find high brass sabot intact and a fuse adapter that screws in and out. These high band sabots were infrequently used because the sabots had a nasty practice of deattaching in flight and hitting friendly troops on their way down range. As a result, they were mostly used by the Navy over water.
