Con FUZE ing

[Chris Boonzaier]

A friend gave me this british fuze.... any idea if it was old stock being used in WW1? I cannot find it pictured anywhere ?

That looks like the fuze from a British 12 or 15lb shrapnel round,i will get more details later as all my files are at work.These were used in quantity during the south african wars and into early WW1.Replaced by the 13 and 18lber they were then mainly used for training in the uk
