I picked up this aluminium No. 80 fuze recently, and it was missing the bottom screw on time ring. Unusually it has no markings on either the base or the nose cap, other than "51" stamped on the base. So the complete nomenclature must have been stamped on the base plug only. (On some early No. 80s I see the details on both the nose cap and the base.)
I've screwed a brass time ring on from a relic all brass Mk VI fuze. As far as I know the only screw on time rings were brass. Looking at my fuze details, the only fuse with an alloy body, alloy time rings and a screw on time ring was a Mk IV. Is this correct? Could somebody please confirm?
Thanks, Graeme
