Informations about an English Artillery Fuze

Hello

Do you have, please some informations about this fuse ?

I think it may be used for a "Star Shell" , perhaps for the Navy ??

Thank you,

Regards from France

fuze 199

I have a 198 III N fuze and it is somewhat different to the 199 shown, it has a thread around the lower edge to take a screw on cover and is all brass. 2pr
