Description:Here we have a very good display of a 12 Pounder Bormann common shell with the Bormann fuse and iron underplug. The gasket is visible between the fuse and underplug. Iron is decent and the fuse is better than most that get cut. Of interest here is the shell is still packed with its powder charge which had solidified. it is hard as a rock and makes for a great display. The shell was run through electrolysis before being cut so it is a nice solid display.
