Unknown Fuze

[jvollenberg]

I found these images some time ago. I never figured out what the country and nomenclature are.

Does anyone know?

It is a Krupp PD fuze for explosive shell, I do not know the designation. I know it was used on the Krupp 75mm explosive and segment shell and that the gun was used in the Boer War. It was an early design gun, probably from the 1880's era. Images from that conflict show this fuze being used.
