Unknown German Fuse type....
Hi All,
I'm trying to ID a German fuse - the markings do not match any of my information on WW1 & WW2 fuse, which is mainly artillery focus.
I'm thinking it could be a naval related bomb fuse or an aerial bomb one (the stamp looks like a "propeller)
Markings:
"Sp F 175 " on brass body
"D" on nose
"C" "B" "A" on body
All thoughts welcome on vintage and function.
Thanks
Cheers
Drew
(Yes I did google "Sp F" etc)

Kz11 / Harry,
Gentlemen, thank you very much for the information!!!
The fuse in the link that Kz11 provided was all brass, whereas the one shown is composite of both brass and alloy - which I would say be late WW1 when Germany was starting to run low on resources.
Ho Humm, I better go and buy some more "study" books!
Cheers
Drew

Hi Drew,
There's at least 1 other of these fuzes in Australia!
Thanks to your thread I have been able to identify this nice fuze for Ron.
We think the "17" on this one is for 1917. The cap is a nice accessory.
Cheers, Graeme

This came to Ron via a very well known Melbourne collector of German ordnance.
