Bormann Fuze Cutter or Punch
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. This Bormann fuze cutter iron blade measures approximately 3 7/8 inches in length and its brass handle approximately 1 3/8 inches in diameter. Its overall length measures approximately 4 1/2 inches. Though the blade has a very slight wave, it has no cracks, breaks, repairs or major bends and will be an excellent addition to any Civil War artillery or general relic collection.
