Can someone enlighten me as to the canon this shell might be fired from. This is my first time getting into artillery. CIVIL WAR ARTILLERY CONFEDERATE 3 INCH SELMA SHORT PATTERN BOLT
Nice shell!
Sabot is missingI would imagine a 3” ordnance rifled cannon would have fired it.
Ive dug a Selma 3.3” bolt. Have not seen a 3” Selma bolt before.
Does it have a copper disk sabot at its base?
Thanks for posting!
Thanks for your expertise. This must have been mis-labeled. I can see no other markings on it. What do you think it is? It is nice to have friend you can turn to for help.The smallest shell that was produced at Selma was 3.3 inch. If a Selma produced shell it should have a G stamped on it.
Could you post a picture of its base? I have a 3” Read bolt whose base knob was thrown off after firing and kinda looks like yours. Just a guess.Thanks for your expertise.
