<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 4455446, member: 54"]The only marks I can read on this Civil War Era shell gauge are “German Steel” and an odd little logo, like a person squeezing a heart with tongs. Or whatever. Can anyone ID that logo? The shell gauge was a “no go” gauge for muzzle-loading round cannon shot and shells. The new shells or shot were rolled down a trough while the ring gauge was held over the sphere, if it hung up it was rejected.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/831oT6" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/831oT6" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/831oT6</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
