The pictured item turned up recently and I am stumped as to what it is! I suspect it is British as the construction of the time setting rings is very similar to those on a No 80 fuze, pictured alongside for comparison. It is in excellent condition with some original red paint remaining but I suspect it is WW1 vintage. No markings on the fuze, bar a large M on the top of the final capping screw. The upper ring is marked 1-14 and the lower 15-27, base diameter of the adapted ring is 83mm. Ready to be educated!
