This Read-Parrott pattern is usually recovered from the Atlanta Campaign
Battlefields, such as the 1864 Battle of Kolb's Farm, Georgia. Projectiles of this style
were manufactured at the Atlanta Arsenal. The projectile base, hidden by the very thick,
brittle copper sabot, is rounded. Note the one flame groove notch cut into the copper
sabot. Fired specimens that have been recovered are usually found with most of the sabot
missing.
