CS RIFLED 32-POUNDER TENNESSEE SABOT (MULLANE) BOLT. Excavated. Unfired. Having a Type I copper Tennessee sabot. On the top of the shell is the remains of a casting vent and lathe dimple.

One of the finest known examples, if not the finest example. CONDITION: Light sand-cast pits on the top during manufacture. One side with small light pitting. Most of lathe turning on shell body and on sabot present. Sabot is near perfect. Small electrolysis hole on side. 4-55907 JM131 (2,500-4,500)
