Unusual M1907

US-Subs, Don't know if it came unfinished or not. Ray, I missed the upper lug, thanks. From what I can tell from the guts, it looks to be pretty much complete other than what is mentioned. I thought the lack of nomen and lot was neat, though. I have a friend who had a M1907 marked M1908 that I'm gonna try to track down. Thanks, Guys, Bruce.

After thinking about it a little, I'm also of the opinion that it's an unfinished fuze. The little screw is usually staked in after the fuze is completed and it doesn't show evidence of that. Also, since you've had it apart, are there signs that it has ever been loaded with black powder? Also, the upper lug may not be missing after all. I was reading about the FA fuze and it said that ". . . a radial hole is provided in the lower ring for a pin to be used in setting the fuze . . ." So, maybe yours was that type? Or maybe the "pin" is installed permanently?
