Hello

At the Museum depot they have found these items, with a note that it should be related to seamines from WWI. I can see at the markings that they are british. Are there someone here who know what it is?

The penultimate item appears to be a base fuze - which one I don't know. (Might be a No, 12 Mk V)
The last item is a "Fuze, percussion, base, medium, No. 12, Mk VII" made by EOC - Elswick Ordnance Company.

P.S.
The penultimate item is a "Fuze, percussion, base, medium, No. 12, Mk V" made by RL - Woolwich.

Hello Tim
Thank you for the information, the items was given to a local man from EOD personel as souvenirs shortly after WWI, when they removed seamines at the danish westcoast. Now I just need to find out what the two other items are.
