What is the correct designation of this fuze ?
I assume AZ M1861 (?)
This old 12cm lead coated shell is fuzed with this one but called M1901 on the label. Maybe a typo.

Ok, thank you. Very basic fuze.
Very strange this modern designation 1901 for this old shell. I assume this shell M1861 had a previous fuze from the same era (?)
Maybe Fert could help.

Thank you,
Here the previous fuze.
M61 fuze was used in 9, 12 and 15cm M61 guns.

I'm pretty sure this exact M.1901 fuze is in my collection - the damage on it is quite distinctive. I also have another and a couple of M.75 fuzes.
