Its a base fuze for the 2pdr AP MkI projectile. Nice condition and worth a minimum of 50 quid. If you search the forum using 2 pdr etc its quite good and should help you learn a bit. Cheers Tig.

Manufactured by "VAEL" - Vickers Armstrong, Elswick in March 1938

Hello! Thank you for the information!! As soon as I can I will put it with a label with the information you have given me! I was looking in the wrong country... it came out at a fair in a lot that the seller told me was all German material... I'll look for 2 pdr in the forum!
Thank you so much tigbrand and TimG
