Hello all, could anyone let me know what this is please?
It has PLUG stamped on the main body. The remaining lettering is ?LUG ?IRIN? N3 259

Many thanks,

Hello
I assume inert rep. fuze for practice (259 could be for No 259, same shape).
For 40mm rounds.

Thanks very much for your help.
I'm guessing post war?

Here a inert No. 259 fuze also with "plug" in the text.

With the "N3" marking - early 50s onwards.

Here I show two Australian 40mm Bofors Plug Firing Rep 259 made by MF and MA (Lithgow).
Blue Practice is 1956 projectile with Plug 1970. Fuze is loose so maybe a replacement.
Black is original 1952 MF Plug in a 1956 HESUB.T projectile.
