Is this ordnance?

[Fred]

This was found in a boat yard. Its 54mm diameter, 135mm tall and made of thin brass approx. 1.5mm thick. I was wondering if it might be a cover for a fuze.

It doesn't help, but I have one exactly the same! It would be good to know what it is.

Actually, that does help. That shows that it is not just a one - off that someone has made on a lathe. There may be more out there.

Maybe its something that was only half made, judging by the rim around it, maybe something unfinished?

Maybe a shaped charge cone.

I never even thought of that Slick! But would thin brass be able to be used as a shaped charge?

I've got a couple oddball looking ones that are something other than copper. Not sure what they came out of.



Some sort of alloy. But I suppose many are.

The conical one in the first pic, on the left might be from an RPG of some kind. I know there is one type that has a cone similar to that, but I cant remember.

 

[Slick]

The one on the left is 3.75" OD and 4.5" tall.
Right- Flange is 4.25" OD, cone is 3" OD, 3" tall

 

[Spaceinvader]

Oh probably not then, too wide. Im stuck, dont know what they could be

Hey,

As it came from a boat yard.....propeller hub perhaps?

 

[Spaceinvader]

Never thought of that, maybe it is, but there is no way for it to connect to the propeller
