it's a Krupp S/15 double action fuze. At least Norway and Spain (Mod. 1894) used this fuze but I think others too. Yours is missing the scale. Such fuzes I know have been used on inert shells for (ballistic-?) experimental purposes. Sometimes it can be observed that such fuzes did not met quality requirements and were taken from the production lines not completely finished. The fuze thread is a typical Krupp thread. The british No.59 is also an example with this thread size.

PS: I think you are the first person here giving correct meassurements of the fuze thread :top: :top: :top:
Hi Alpini,
the percussion apparatus is different. In my foto the firing-pin is integral with the fuze and you can see the top of the seperate cap-holder/striker with its safety-spring. In Bevers fuze the complete striking-mechanism can be screwd out as one piece. In the fuze of my foto, this is not possible.

Bellifortis.
