Description:I got this shell at the Gettysburg auction where Dean Thomas sold his collection. This was not Dean's but another person's who added some shells to the auction for variety. Everybody thought I was nuts bidding up this fuseless Bormann ball against some absentee bidders, but what the absentee bidders could not see that I could was that it had bullets inside as case shot. These are very rare and most of those are unused, late/post war Wright fused balls, not Bormann fused ones. This is a treasure and there are only two halves!
