Hi Spotter, this makes me curious what the nose-plug looks loke !!
is this a "zink" piece with a fixingcross cuttout on the top?

 

[spotter]

These are the only photos i have of the end ,This is the part arrowed in the drawing..Its about 3 years since we found this but If i remember correctly the centre piece was some type of zinc alloy

Hi Spotter,

exactly this steelpart was attached to the brass flange where my fuze
was fixed on.
your piece has no fuze as to be seen, how it detonated?
this plug i have never seen before.

The one i have shown was found on a huge ordnance disposal area here in the uk ,so was probably unfuzed surplus stock

Hi i aquired this one which is similar, last year the nose plug is marked No15 1C and is made of iron holder is threaded and made of brass .
It should be mentioned that this is the filling hole not the fuzed part of the 30 Lb IB
See attached pictures Cheers

so the fillinghole has the same flange as fuzeholder?
i think you mix 2 different types?

for the 4,7 " the brass flange is soldered and fixed with rivets on the body and is only be used as fuzeholder.
