IDplz: some WWI fuzes and a modern 90mm

[DOODLE]

Hi,
Could you guys be so good for me to ID these little ones?
(click the pics to enlarge)

First up's a 90mm round. Somewhere on bocn (http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/92121-90mm-Practice)
you guys determined one as anbelgian M81 BG practice round. But this one has no tracer hole, and was painted
green (some spots visible.)

It also came with an '58 M78A1 Fuse.
in full: FUZE CP M78A1 NON- DELAY LOT-RBR (or RBB) 1-58

Do these two belong together?



Now some older stuff;

Here's the special marking on a N°102 fuse. I don't know if I may call
this a Britisch one, because I think this marking is Canadian.
And where could I find a list with these markings? A friend of mine told me once it was possible to even find
flamingo's, music-notes, yes even a swastika (non-WWII related!!!)....

Does it really say King Dick? Or is some of the name lost due to the damage?


Then this fuse. It's somewhat smaller then the normal 18pdr fuzes. I think
this is one for an 13pdr but I cannot find the right info on it.


And finally, is this an german Bodemzünder?

Hello,

-First : the shell looks like an US 90mm M71 HE. I don't know if this shell could be fired with CP M78 A1 fuze.

-Second : ?

-Third : Fuze No80, maybe the common MkVII. Looks like smaller because the ring with graduations is missing.

-Fourth : adapter, safey device with shutter used in HE shells (I assume 18pr) with non detonator fuze. I don't know the number of designation. Diagram show an example (NO11).

Regards

The U.S. 90mm M71 with concrete piercing fuze was a well used combination, used in the pacific to collapse Japanese caves.

The second one does in fact says "king dick" and the image above it is a "Bulldog". King Dick were a well known tool maker and they were also quite a prolific munitions manufacturer in WWI.

Thanks for the ID's!!

The number 80 fuze is actually the remnants of an 80/44 - see Bonnex post on the no 80 Mk's thread.

Your quote: "Does it really say King Dick? Or is some of the name lost due to the damage?"

In 1982 I used spanners that were made by King Dick.

Hi adapter N°11 with Gaine 2 généraly used on 13 Pr and 3 " AA gun and sometimes 4.5 in HE fit with delay fuze like N°83

 

[DOODLE]

Anyone got this n°11 adapter in a better condition then mine?
I would like to compare it with mine because -altough I understand that schematic-
I cannot make out the size and where all the features are. I would like to see it
from above to.

I've searched google, but I'm afraid I'm not using the right search words... Can one even
find good info on these topics on google anymore??

I showed a diagram with adapter No11 for example but I'm not sure your adapter is the same (?). I found a lot of these adapters on The Somme battlefields and I'm still looking for designation. I should have cut one to understand. As these adapters were damaged it's possible I missed a detail.
Maybe Doctor could help.

-Picture of the same damaged adapter (I notice remnant of shutter but no obvious safety detent, I don't know)
