Sectioned Mortar, Rocket Fuze Or Something Else?

Well, this factory sectioned fuze arrived with me today all the way from the U.S. Not sure what it would be worth but i think i bought it for a reasonable price.

Please could i have some info on this fuze, what type it is, what it would been used on etc as i know nothing about it.

Cheers,
Darren

Shell AA for German AT GUN?

Recently I've found two shells as that but thus fitted with percussion fuze Robin Lejay of 24/31 detonator assembled of course on a reducer of 30 mm
My question is to know if this type of assembly used by German on the french shells of catch were not reserved for the short guns anti-tank device of 75 German origin?
No datas on this fitted eye with this fuze :tinysmile_angry_t:
 
Yes this was done by the Germans. They made a special adapter for it and were used a lot in Holland.
