They were a few versions with diffrent time delays.

absolutely positively useles babble by dano1917

Yes 18pdr, Does resemble a Dopp Z92 fuze but different. all Dopp z92's i've seen are marked as such. It is double effect as mentioned and it does have the "clasic German WW1 look but i'm not convinced. I do know one thing - one will see something that he has not previously seen in this hobby no mater how long you've been at it. I'll go with WW1 German but can't add anything further to that. most interesting to say the least. there, now i've done it - written a paragraph of total babble without a single shred of useful information. HELP Richard!!! If just one life was changed..................Dano

hi,
Thank you gentlemen for your answers, this shell was found in belgium.
Best regard.
 
i agree with dickaren

I think so too its not an german round two opinions a kind of trench art or maybe an pre war round created with remaining stock parts of the ww1 !!

Hi
The fuze look Belgium but the shell body, conical base and driving band look strangely Yugo
Perhaps a belgium shell for export?
I already saw a 15 cm shell identified like yugoslave, fitted of a Schneider fuze for average gauge, made in America since WW1 and for export
