I show a tin for the Fuze, Percussion, Bolt (Armstrong RBL) and a fuze I just got. (Used by the Navy BL guns but what type of guns and projectiles?)
The tin is 40mm diameter and 60mm high. The fuze is 39.5mm long but the label says 2 Fuzes. Obviously only 1 fuze fits in this tin.
Tin was made for a fuze by EOC dated 14,6,87 and I guess N1 means No1 fuze.
The tin is 137 years old so a bit of rust stains on the label is still OK.
