Borman Fuse Punch / SOLD

Borman Fuse Punch - Inventory Number:  ART 386 / SOLD

This non-excavated Bormann fuze cutter, also known as a punch, is in very good condition.  Its brass knob and iron blade have aged darkened toned patinas.  This device was used to cut into the powder train at the desired time-marking on the thin face of a Bormann time fuze. The flame from the cannon's firing blast ignited the fuze, at the time-marking punched, which would burn until the shell exploded.
