Description

Federal Schenkl – Inventory Number: ART 012 / SOLD DIAMETER:  2.90 inches GUN:  3-inch wrought iron (ordnance) rifle LENGTH:  10 1/8 inches WEIGHT:  8 pounds without sabot CONSTRUCTION:  Case shot SABOT:  Papier-mâché’ FUZING:  Schenkl combination time and percussion The rounded nose on this pattern indicates it is case-shot. Please note the original papier-mâché’ sabot on this non-excavated example. The lower zinc band, which helped decrease humidity-related swelling, is missing. Since the papier-mâché’ sabot fit so tightly in the bore, no flame could pass to light the conventional time fuze. A self-igniting fuze was used in an attempt to correct this problem. However, the combination fuze worked very poorly with only approximately a 55% success rate. This shell has seven raised ribs on the tapered cone. Inventory Number: ART 012 / SOLD
