I got this fuze from a friend a while ago. The body is made of aluminum with brass time rings. Numbers start at 0, 1 to 22.
The base assembly appears to me that it is an igniting type of fuze which incorporates probably a black powder ejecting charge originally.
The dimensions are:
Total length: 112mm
exposed length: 96mm
largest dia.: 61mm
thread diameter: 50.5mm
base plate thread dia.: 36 left hand
Only markings are on the base: Vda. A.A.

Hello,

Maybe it could be a Spanish experimental fuze designed by Colonel of Artillery Juan Moreno Luque in 1935 to be used in antiaircraft munitions. The beginning of the Civil War in 1936 left the fuse undeveloped.
I have only seen two fuzes (model for Army y model for Marine) in Spain and I could only take a few pictures.
I attach images
