Fuze parts?

Well-Known Member
Hello,

I found these items in Germany, together with a lot of driving band fragments, No.117, No.119, No.207/208 and No.222B fuze parts.

Item 1:
Diameter 65mm, brass.
Markings: Pb, arrows, F20..(hard to read)

Item 2 and 3:
A brass disc, diameter is 71mm/2.8"
Found together with a steel disc which has the same diameter and a brass ring around it.
Markings: Something that appears to be a square or something, see pictures.

Anyone who can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Stuka,

The first picture looks like an no 80 fuze adapter for an 18pr shrapnel shell but I don't think it is.
The disc with the 2 holes in is from a base eject shell. Possibly 25pr but cannot confirm that.
Hope that is of some assistance
Cheers
Gary
 
I also found a lot of driving band fragments that I don't really recognize.
I hope some of you can help me with them.
Driving band 1: Width 2-2.3cm apx. It has only one groove on the backside.
Driving band 2: Width 2.8cm, two grooves on the backside.
Driving band 3: Width 4.4cm apx. Four grooves.
Driving band 4: Width 1.7cm, but it looks like there is a groove, just like 3.7" driving bands have two grooves at the 'outer side'. So I think it's been part of a bigger band and the rest of it is blown away in the explosion. It has two grooves on the backside.

Here are some pictures, I put the numbers in it.
