Fuse Identification help

Hi
I picked this up at a recent Flea Market. As far as I can tell, it is a British M80 Mark IV .
Can someone confirm?
Markings underneath are 80IVA I 9 p VSM 936 8/17
T9 on the 2 center brass rings and a A on the tip

It is in very nice aged condition, rings can be disassembled and set and locked .......someone mounted it on a hand made desk stand.

If anyone needs additional photos, I will be glad to provide any detail.

Mike

Appreciate and help

yes, it is a No.80 Mk IV made by Vickers, Sons & Maxim Ltd. in 1917. It is one of the most common british fuzes of that period.
