Num 80

[18pounder]

Hello all

came across this in an antique shop for 8.

Its a double effect (percussion and timed) number 80 fuze.

Before i bought it,i checked to see if it came apart and it did and even more surprized to see it complete with shutters intact and pristine threads.

It even has the rubber like seals present between some of the parts.

I dont think ive done bad have I?
