Mills Morrison is in possession of Wilbur Parker's notebook of hand-written cartridge patents applied for with hand colored illustrations. It is incredibly informative!

Forget all the above. Check out Volume Two of The Parker Story pages 537 to 548. They only show a couple of shells with the primers out, but one at the bottom corner of page 547 shows the three holes like your shell.

What is that other stamp on the shellhead? "XXUSTY" ??

The shell head reads:
Parker Bro’s 12 A West Meriden, CT. It measures 2-1/2”. |

Thanks Jim - I was actually questioning the 3-hole shell on page 547.

If that thing is of a Berdan style the easist way to deprime them is with a wooden dowel thats just a tiny bit tight going in the shell mouth . Then put about a third of the hull full of water put the dowel in the hull and wack it with a mallet . The hydraulic tendecy of the water inside will force the primer out or thats what I've always been told .
