Could this contain explosives or is it entirely mechanical?

No80
Hi,
it's a WW1 British No.80 time and percussion fuze. It's a very common fuze and that one certainly hit something hard when it hit the ground. It's obviously been on a fired projectile but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't contain any fuse composition etc but I'd say it's likely safe, but without examining it with my own eyes no one can say for sure.

What I mean is, in its unfired state, did it contain ANY explosive material?
Thanks Ben, just the job. I contacted the seller and asked:
" Hi, can you guarantee your fuze is FFE?"
his answer:
" Obviousy you know nothing about fuses"
my answer will be:
"At least I can spell Fuze correctly"
