Can anyone help in identifying this? It's nothing like I've ever seen before! Depotman

Norman, there are a few on the base, but my first photo of it was blurred. I'll try to get another next week. Depotman
 
Does it have a conical thread inside?

Is it a fuze or a just a booster without a fuze screwed in? If yes, I wonder if it is a base fuze.

Not sure about tapered thread or not - I'll check next week and also measure the outer thread. It does look like a base fuze. Depotman

Yes, the internal thread is the standard British GS taper. See markings picture just sent to Bonnex. Depotman
