It appears to be US M603 Pressure fuze for the M15 Anti-Tank Mine.

The measurements I have are the following:
M603 (live and inert)
Height: 1.17 in (29.7mm)
Dia.: 1.14 in (28.95mm)
M604 (practice)
Height: 1.723 in. (43.7mm)
Dia.: 1.05in. (26.67mm)
Looking at the photo and noticing that there isn't a detonator well on the bottom I would rule out my earlier statement of the M603 and go with the M604. Madbomber do you have measurements for the M1A1 as I can't seem to find any to see how ti matches up.
Burney Davis, can you measure the item for us? Can you make out any of the markings on the fuze?Last edited by Eodtek; 4th August 2008 at 01:50 PM.
