| This projectile is a rare imported British Britten solid shot fired by the Federal artillery in Helena, Arkansas, the only known site for battlefield recoveries. There are seven lands and grooves on the lead sabot, indicating it was fired from a 3-inch wrought iron (ordnance) rifle. There is a faint ring visible around the nose of the projectile typical of Britten projectiles. | ||||
