Sorry, this item is no longer available!



Item Number: F00149

Item Title: Nice CS 6pdr Bormann case shot

Price: $200

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: CS

Type: Spherical shell

Size: 6pdr

Sabot:

Fuse: Bormann time fuse

Book:

Location Recovered: Unknown

Description:This is one of the nicer sections I have seen. It clearly shows the rebate at the bottom of the fuse threaded section to accommodate an oversized gasket (see red circles in second picture). This was a futile, last ditch attempt by the Confederates to make these fuses operate properly and stop blowing up in their faces prematurely. It didn't work and so by the end of 1862 they issued orders to stop using their own made Bormann fuses.

This one has lead case shot balls. I sold the other half already.
