ID required please

Can anyone ID this and what it was used in/for? The only marks are "39" on the rim. This looks like the date when stamped on Dutch fuzes - but is it Dutch?

Cheers

It is indeed Dutch and it is a antitank mine fuze No 44 used on the No2 mine.

Many thanks Blu, that's great. Do you (or anyone else) have a picture of the actual fuze? Is it common or rare, as I have never seen Dutch anti-take mines mentioned on the forum.
