Hi Tony,

You want a No. 56, 60 or 63 time and percussion fuze.
I have a H.E. shell that I'd guess is pretty rare.

These are the fuzes No56-left ,No60-right can someone confirm these fuze nos as this type all look very similar to me,,also its difficult to read the time rings on these as they are fired recovered items
Want one of these Tigs for your projectile let me know sure we can work something out
