Hi all, I’m new around here.
A friend of mine recently found a nice little Bormann fuzed 6 pdr. I have never seen a Bormann fuze that looks like this one. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks!

welcome to the forums !! That Bormann fuze, is typically referred to as a 'high lip Bormann fuze" . And typically they are considered to be a CS invention. But, US ones were also made and are out there. Refer to Chuck Jones book, page 26 to read about it. David

I believe the size of the pipe hump and (what appears to be) two tick marks before the no. 1 position would indicate it is, in fact, the Confederate high lip variety. Nice find!
