Congratulations on scoring a nice USN lid and pairing it with a Hawley liner. Don't see many Hawleys this side of the pond.

Nice pairing. I do not see many Hawleys this side of the pond either. A sad truth is I have not ever had one in hand.

It does have "St Paul" stenciled on the side as well. Possible Minny reference John. Or maybe his name is Paul Sabrina perhaps. I will say they are extremely fragile ... cant believe guys went to war in them and that there are minty examples even available. This one will have to be stowed carefully.
Thanks guys!

This shell has been around. Certainly no shelf queen and war time used. Most probably on a tug pulling a target barge near Staten Island!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Sir I don’t know who you are. I see you only have a couple of posts here. But please don’t disrespect historical items like that

Jokes aside. This condition is what I see a lot of Navies in. Painted multiple times. Dings. Rust. Etc. As opposed to “poor storage”. I think this one saw some heavy on the (barge) boat deck
