No721 11 Rocket Fuze.

I show 6 views of the No.721 11 Rocket Fuze from a DRILL 5" Barrage Rocket head (sea mattress) that I will post at a later date.
This head is from the Smoke or Incendiary rockets converted to a Drill rocket head. I reckon it is quite unusual to find one.
Fuze is steel with gold annodised aluminium magazine, not brass as mentioned in the TM9-1985-1 (1952) pages.
Made by GRC. Who is this maker. Filled by BR = ROF Bridgend, Wales.

The only missing part is the nose safety cap and the spring-loaded safety clip.

GRC - Gourock Ropemaking Company, Glasgow. (Not 100% satisfied that this is the correct ID, need to do some research)
