This is listed as an Austrian BD fuze for an chemical shell from WWI. It also states it for an 8-Inch 1917 gun ...

Dia: 76MM
Length: 182MM

Does anyone have anything on this item? I am trying to find the nomenclature as well.

Joe

Hello, beautiful, keep coming please.
the brass one it's an Austro hungarian base fuze mod 1909 used in shells from 10cm to 42cm. The steel adapter and detonator can be used on 10cm M10/9 new shell for the 10cm M99 howitzer, 12cm Minengranate M99 for the 12cm M80 gun and 24cm M98 shells.
Austro hungarian didn't have a 8in (203mm)
