Different WWII fuze to what I normally find

[Ringo]

Can anyone ID this, please? Normally I find VAD ones. Found in Greater London

Thanks!

It's a No. 80 Mk VII, but I don't have a record of the maker's mark "W.O." The date isn't clear and it could be a WWI relic.

The early WW1 anti-aircraft guns fired shrapnel shells with the No.80 fuze; and then the No.180 (the No.80 without the percussion unit) - probably the 13pdr 9cwt QF Anti-Aircraft Gun.
