Civil War Bormann Shell Recovered in Fredericksburg

Civil War Bormann Shell Recovered in Fredericksburg – Inventory Number: ART 467

This Bormann shell is a classic example of Union artillery technology. Designed to be used with a 12-pounder cannon, this iron shell features the distinct Bormann time fuse, a revolutionary innovation that allowed gunners to set the shell to explode in mid-air or on impact. The fuse markings remain partially visible, and the iron casing retains excellent integrity for its age.

Recovered in Fredericksburg.

This piece is a striking relic of the Civil War battlefield ordnance—perfect for collectors, museums, or historical displays.
