Last unkown fuze for the night!

[Dronic69]

OK, promise this will be the last one for ID tonight!

Thread diameter is approx. 51mm and looks WW1 ~75mm calibre (hum, may be earlier?)

Markings on fuse looks Turkish...............

All kind thoughts welcome.

Thanks

Cheers
Drew

OK, If I have translated the Arabic numerals correctly, it is 7.5cm.

Any thoughts /comments? Period?

Thanks

Hello Drew,

very interesting find.

It's made by Krupp for Turkey, should have around 1" thread size for black-powder filled common shells. Period is around 1900 until 1st WW.

i've never seen a percussion Turkish 75mm fuze before, a very uncommon one

Have seen only one before and guess it was in the BOCN too. But some millions oft this fuze should habe been produced. Guess in Gallipoli they are not very rare
