No doubt that shotshells are a while study in themselves.
That would be the UMC made (Parker stamped) Berdan type shotshell in 12A.
A couble variations exist in this type of shell in the early times of offering them.
The Parker Story states this type of shell was sold first by Parker in 1869 and continued to be offered until around 1895, thought UMC stopped making them in 1885. Obviously actual use of the shells by the shooters of the guns could be using them much later than that.
