Z7188 12 Ga. Brass Shotshell with Sturtevant Anvil by U.M.C.

Description: Nice 12 Ga. N.P.E. brass shotshell with the patented Sturtevant anvil. These were manufactured by The Union Metallic Cartridge Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. This is a very nice example with a little discoloration one the head and just above the rim on one side. The shell is primed and if you look on the inside of the hull, you can see the pin for the anvil. Due to it being primed, I can’t tell if it’s a round anvil or square anvil. A nice clean example with a little spotting and discoloration near the head.

Headstamp: "U.M.C.CO. BRIDGEPORT, CONN. / 12 A”

Measures: OAL 2.501” or 2 ½” RD .860” HD .807”
