British sea mine part??

[tigbrand]

I bought this off SA years ago,sold as recovered from a mine by divers,would love a positive ID,the possible idea of it being some sort of extension for a mine horn?? Shows signs of sea immersion and is bronze not brass and very heavy. Cheers Tig.

Thank you Jack very much indeed,that's really made my day! It looks like my bit is part of the detonator assembly? I take it this is WW1 era. Best wishes Tig.
