Absolutely drop-dead beautiful condition, 12 pound CONFEDERATE BORMANN FUSED" cannonball.  This projectile is a drop, and you can read every fuse number as clearly today as you could 160 years ago.  This ball was found about 50 years ago ACTUALLY IN Stones River.  This could very well be the nicest Confederate Bormann fused cannonball ever found at this battle.--$495.SOLD*
