A Driggs-Seabury 1pdr.

[Shell Shifter]

Hi all. I have been moving and therefore reaquainteing myself with all of my stuff. I might sort of randomy share some odds and ends if that is alright.

Anyway here is a 1 pdr. that is notable because of the inscription on the driving band ...



Promotional piece? Have not seen many. I also thought it might be a message to an enemy like "Tell Adolf Hello!!" sort of thing.

I don't have one like yours exactly but here are the ones I have acumalated over time.
The "After Dinner" projectiles are just that, given to individuals for service or to every one attending.
My Driggs are not promotional but a commercialy marked product. The American Ordnance co are a mix,
two are likley a commercial product and the one mentioning Machinery sounds more like a promotional item.
The Poole example is clearly promotional. I apologize for the poor images.
