I had the chance this week to visit a private museum filled with all kinds of relics and wrecks recovered from the sea in the 1960/70's by a bunch of divers, along with all the plates, bottles,portholes and other submerged detritus was a small collection of ordnance. All inert if anyone can add any info on one of the Dummy / Practice fuzes (26) and some of the plugs (14 15) i would love to know what they are, and also the dummy / drill wood and brass round in pics (16 17 18)
Best regards Weasel.

No harm intended, I know the owner and museum collection.
Details of both are available to all on the Internet already.
Cheers Tim.
