Thourgh browsing in an old thread by US-Subs ("Random Museum Ordnance"), I found a very rare bird - probably the only one of its kind still in existence:
The "fusee a double fonctionnement pour bombes d'aviation type G and I" : one of the very first French fuzes developped for naval use use .
This is the original Model 1917 (The 1924 variant had fully straight sides).
