It can be fired out of a Parrot, also a 3" Ordnance Rifle. What kind of shell is it though? ETA Dayum, that was fast. |

Wow, I guess my Dad dragging me around to all those Civil War battle fields *finally* paid off.

I would say it is some sort or early rifled shell from a Parrot gun!

Spent tank shell, 120mm. combustable case.
Field Arty rounds aren't in cartridge form (the shell and powder charge(s) are separate), the 120mm Abrams round is the only thing I know of that uses a combustable casing... |

The shell casing on the left is from a 3 inch Mark 7, 50 cal navy deck gun.
I have an identical piece sitting next to me as my ashtray. ETA: What did I win?  |

old post-civil war black powder howitzer round?

The 105 mm howitzer has a cartridge type shellwith a centerfire primer. The WW2's were brass. During the vietnam years they devoloped a spiral steel shell casing. Both the brass and steel cases held 7 separate charges of powder. WW-2 120mm AA was a bottle necked brass case. 155mm 175mm and 204mm(8") were projectiles followed by powder charge bags and a separate primer. |

The relic shell is a Type II Hotchkiss case shot, less the lead sabot, probably 3" caliber.

I'd say the casing is a 6-pounder. Is that a "98" on the base?

That was actually my first guess before I scrolled down... but it was a shot in the dark. |
