Old fuze

[SG500]

I'm totally out of my collecting zone with this one but thought it was a cool piece.
Does anyone have a drawing of one they can post please. I assume the inside hole would have something in there as it is threaded?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hi Dave,

it looks like a British Metal Boxer Fuze

I couldn't follow Glevums link so apologies if this diagram features in the thread. Hopefully you will find a good match with say, the Boxer 20sec fuze if you can accept that the protruding central tube has been broken off.

That's brilliant thanks Norman.
Now all I have to do is find one in decent condition.
Dave.

I picked up another of these old fuzes recently and have a question for the experts.
The fuze in the first posting to this thread has 2 sets of 13 holes.
The one I've just got has 1 set of 14 holes and 1 set of 15 holes.
I'm guessing the one with more holes is a longer delay, buy why different numbers of holes on the same fuze?
Anyone know why?
Dave.

On Bonnex's diagram,
13 holes for 20 sec. fuze (first pictures)
14/15 holes for 7.5 sec. fuze (maybe your fuze)

Ah its all in the detail, I must get some new glasses!
Thank you for pointing that out Minenaz16
Dave.
