Great looking non-fired 3-inch Confederate Read shell w/ copper ring sabot. The iron shows light ground action evenly throughout the shell, however in some places its light enough to where you can still see hints of the lathe marks on the iron, especially around the bottom band. There are no divots, or large pieces, missing from the shell. The iron is stable throughout and has been nicely coated giving the shell a brown hughe. The copper ring sabot is in overall good condition with only one damaged area, which can be seen in the images. The time fuse adaptor is in place and in overall good shape, the condition can be seen in the images. The lathe dimple is present on the bottom of the shell. The recovery site for this one is unknown, however it is in great display condition.
