No 35 MKlV 1942 & No 10 I 1944 Fuzes

[Gspragge]

Picked these up today,



The #10 is something of a mystery, what is it ? It looks like it had a set back spring loaded safety pin (missing) then has additional rotation safety system. It appears to have a rather sensitive direct action firing pin. No 10 is a low number on the fuze list for 1944 ? unless this is not considered a fuze, but something else ?

The No10 is not a fuze but a gaine
The gaine are used with igniferous fuzes to produce detonation of the shell filling and are fitted directly below the fuze
