This fuze has all design characteristics which some other bulgarian fuzes also have. I have nearly the same fuze with bulgarian cyrillic markings (M.1913) and a 33 sec. scale. Sadly there don't seem to be any bulgarian enthusiasts which have good documents about their artillery.

But as it is a standard item it could have been exported to other countries (most of them without own industry) too. Complete South / Latin America is still a black box for me with just the exception that I can read that most of the countries there had Krupp guns.
