Gun: 6-pounder smoothbore, 3.67-inch caliber.
Fuzing: Confederate copy of the Bormann time fuze.
Approximate size: Weight: 5.6 pounds. Diameter: 4.42 inches. 
Condition: Good, excavated, fired. The surface of the shell has moderate pitting and a visible mold seam. Its Bormann time-fuze is present and appears to have been punched at about the 3-second mark (see Comments section below) and a few of the hash-marks are visible as indicated in the additional close-up images. Both shell and fuze have been lightly clear coated for preservation. It has been deactivated and is ready for display. No repairs.
Recovered: Unknown.
Reference: Confederate 6-pounder case-shot shell with a Bormann time fuze, are pictured in the following reference books:

• "Field Artillery Projectiles of the American Civil War", by Thomas S. Dickey and Peter C. George on page 29, figure B.
• "Melton & Pawl's Guide to Civil War Artillery Projectiles", by Jack W. Melton, Jr., and Lawrence E. Pawl, page 32, Fig. III A-7.

See above page in the additional images.

Comments: Even though the fuze on this example was punched and the shell fired, it did not explode. Now deactivated, this Confederate 6-pounder case-shot shell with Bormann time fuze will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War artillery or general relic collection.
