No takers on this?
I am surprised!

Well IMHO,its a nice late 17A with unusual bottom end.Also a lack of the 'A' is noticed on the top face.
Nicelely dated and in my eyes a damned fine pick up! :)

base,But that seems to have cleared that one up.:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Hi Paul
The bottom is from a 1941 pattern (17) fuze Plastic sleeved i think that at sometime its been swopped over, it should be a (17)A with the single charging pin.

Thanks for that steve as it was a bit of a mistery at first.:tinysmile_shy_t:
 
No Problem Phil its a standard (17)A with the two pins one of which is a dummy , and has the clock housed in the plastic sleeve, which like the Zus40 2nd pattern was a disaster.

Interesting theory!
Is the whole of the case plastic then or just that odd looking bottom part?
also
How come i cant see the 'A' though? It doesnt look corroded in the place where it usually is?

Its ok,i see your point now Steve.
The internal sleeving is all plastic still using old ally sleeves perhaps?

cheers
