British WW1 Shell Fuzes

[siegfreid]

Some time ago I obtained a large album of HAND painted drawings of British WW1 fuzes . This album had been saved from Woolwich Arsenal in the 1980's & consists of dozens of large ink drawings coloured in meticulously by hand . Must have taken weeks ! I can't scan the pages as they are to large but have photo'd a couple for your enjoyment . If anyone has a favourite they'd like me to show , please contact me & I'll check to see if it's in this collection . Mike.
