I'm impressed Waff!!!! {It certainly ain't a German aerial bomb fuse!!! LOL}

Or did you just happened to read the description: :tinysmile_twink_t2:

"A brass and Alloy Shell nose cone. The shell has been mounnted on a wooden base. Brass part is stamper No 199IV FH10/39 and around the other side RL 12/39 992"

199 fuze, typically as used on 3.7 inch heavy anti-aircraft artillery shells. There would be a number of images on this forum of both the fuze and the complete round if you searched.

Also used on 4.5" AAA as well as 3.7"

think you've all miss identified it. It is PART of a 199. It also looks blown out of being a true cone so think its fired.

Humm, I would have thought that was fairly obvious from the photo............
