I got some "puzzle" parts from metal recycling company and I need some help to identify of them. Can anybody help please?

All items are safety!

Some markings:

1. Only letter "D"
2. RGM 34K (on half fuze) seems like Russian shell upper body? What kind of shell?
3. Tx 230 marking on side

Oh, what a quick reply! Thanks Harry! I wasn`t sure about first fuze French or US? Second one has Russian letters (alphabet) I looked some info but many of Russian projectiles has fitted RGM type fuze.

Hi
excuse me but the fuze N1 seem to be an 24/31 IAL Mle 16 and not 24/31 IA Mle 15 (not the same detonator, only onedetonator, not two in IA)
 
Hi,
24/31 IAL Mle 16 fuze was used in 75mm French ammunition.

Regards.

One unknown fuze (clear and safety of course), looks like earlier type. Maybe French production, not sure.
Any opinions?

Thanks

# 2 looks like a Desmarest late 1800' s fuze. They were used in small caliber rounds like the Hotchkiss 37mm and larger.

I may be going out on a limb here, but reading through this entire thread it seems as though you are dealing with a large variety of dug ordnance, with little or no comprehension or training on what you are doing. I would suggest that you seek local assistance from professional sources rather than an internet forum. Whether in the field or at a recycling company, live materials are commonly found. Identifying potentially hazardous materials for untrained personnel is not what this group is about.
 
Thank you for your remarks! I appreciate your concern but I assure that all items I have posted are professionally checked. I also would like to add that I do not think that you can really judge my level of professionalism based on this thread. I believe that many professionals ask questions in this forum about things they do not know.

Best regards,
Endel
