Fuze or Gaine No 11

[Doug]

Hi

This week's mystery is the attached fuze or gaine or something else entirely. From the markings, it is clearly British, a No 11 Mk IV and was manufactured in June 1918.

It is not a No 11 fuze, nor a No 11 gaine according to pictures I have seen or compared to those items at the museum.

Any help would be appreciated.

Doug

Hi

Alson found in a 4.5 in shell, but todaay I dont know why? and for?
It's fitted in the eye of the shell under a time fuze N180 or 185 (80 or 85 without percution pellet)
It's replace the 44/80 only used in these shells with 80/44 or 85/44
It's a security system of gaine N2 fitted under and on the adapter N11
