1912 fuze for identification please

[Rrickoshae]

Good afternoon, I wonder if anyone can identify this fuze. The only markings are a date, Oct 2/12, and TG within a circle. The reverse threads to the fuze are course.
The adaptor ring measures 56mm across the base but looks to have been hammered to remove it from the shell so is perhaps slightly under size.

any thoughts?

many thanks, Dave

many thanks fert, that’s it sorted. I guess the calibrations have been removed somewhere along its life!

Mod 900 fuze can be found with or without graduation. That's why timing was in the graduation key used for set the fuze.
