Found in UK along with loads of other items including Japanese, Italian and German which I think was brought back for reverse engineering and research. Could it be Iraqi as they were allied with UK during the WW2?

Did someone figure out this Arabic marked fuze?
I just found one in Australia and I am trying to figure out its origins.

yes, it is a turkish fuze. Made by Krupp in Germany as most turkish fuzes of that time. It dates around the 1890-1900. That one here is marked 8,7 for 8,7 cm Krupp Gun. When found in Australia I guess it's a Souvenir from Gallipoli.
