Hi I have had this fuze for many years and was wondering what type of shell it was used on it fits the 18pdr's thread and was it used on them?
Thanks in advance
Andy

we have found these on 60pdr shrapnel see attached image

plus now have this additional info provided by member Bonnex on 28/03/14

"In combination with the No 44 it was also used for 4.5-inch and 6-inch Howitzer AA shrapnel.
Later it was adopted for use with 4.5-inch and 3.7-inch QF Howitzer Base Ejection smoke shells."
