I have a very nice USN 1 Pdr Heavy, Washington Navy Yard, 1-1906, solid pointed steel projectile. Projectile is 3 inches above rotating band. Threaded for a base fuze. Base of projectile is stamped 1-PDR.T. MK V.
Anybody tell me what the projectile may have been? More important, anyone recommend a color for the projectile?
I have a restored 1 Pdr with a Common projectile, painted gray, that is 2" above the rotating band. I'd like the taller one to complement that one.
