3-inch Archer Bormann Fused

The Bormann-fuzed Archer did not have enough burn time for the range of rifled artillery due to its 5 1/2-second  time fuze and therefore was manufactured in extremely limited numbers.   It has four vertically placed flanges and a groove to help hold on the lead sabot, which is missing on this specimen.
