Fuze identification

[Bomber2007]

I found this fuze. I suspect it is from an 18-pounder shell. It came from France and was found among a shipment of onions.


Can anyone tell me more about this fuze and whether it is dangerous or not? Could it possibly be from a shrapnel shell? As far as I know, the fuzes on those often remain intact.


I’m curious to hear what you think!

Hi there bomber I think it could be one of these bud a No101 or one of the numbered fuzes either side of the No101 here’s a pic of mine bud so you can see what it would of looked like

Are these fuzes dangerous, or are they relatively harmless?
The bottom of the fuze appears to be quite damaged

I’d say it’s harmless but others will say look at all fuzes as dangerous . As you say the bottom damaged and the gains gone so I would give it a clean bud
