good morning, another item that puzzles me. This sort of has the look of a Moorsom percussion fuze but is it? (In fact is it a fuze at all?). Sea recovered so not in the best of condition, a little over 2.5 inches long. Any thoughts?

many thanks

Dave

I doubt it, but corrosion MIGHT have caused the relic you have. Moorsom fuze pics follow: -
