ConfederateRead-Parrott |
|
| The Confederate Read-Parrott above was most likely manufactured by Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond, Virginia. This is an example of a projectile that does not contain case-shot balls. Projectiles with this type of interior are often referred to as common shells. The term common shell refers to the interior construction and not the relative rarity of the projectile. Go here for a complete specimen. |
