Dahlgren
Converted to a
Tennessee Sabot, Sub-pattern II

This projectile has been altered from a Confederate Dahlgren copy to the reverse Tennessee Sabot system.  The interrupted bourrelets present both flame grooves and bearing surfaces. This projectile has a strong "family" resemblance to that shown in Figure 71.
