Civil War-period iron cannonball "twelve-pounder" grenade from Cold Harbor (Virginia), with Bormann time fuse intact. 3528 grams, 4" in diameter. One of the last battles of the Civil War, the Battle of Cold Harbor produced one of the most lopsided victories for the Confederate army, at tremendous cost of Union lives. Imagine that cannonballs like this with a Bormann time fuse (disarmed!) were used, its smooth black surface marred by pock marks to expose the metal underneath and "Cold Harbor" painted in white on top. Recovered from the site of the Battle of Cold Harbor (May 31- June 12, 1864) near Mechanicsville, VA, with collector tag showing line of ownership and disarming in 1998.
