Description:Other than being drilled and the dirt washed off, this ball is as dug. It still has the full original coating of rust. It is a nice looking dug ball. It obviously impacted on the fuse and you can see the scratch marks as it buried itself in the dirt. But unlike many Bormann fuses this one is not corroded and is good firm smooth metal. Unfortunately you can't read any marks on the fuse due to the impact. I think if the buyer were so inclined the iron would clean up nicely.
Shell is inert.
