Mine fuze ID

[Burney Davis]

I believe this is a mine fuze but would be grateful for a positive ID, including likely age and country. There are some numbers on it but difficult to read. Completely Inert. Many thanks.

It is not a mine fuze but a bombfuze for the 1 Kg fliegermaus which in fact was a converted rifle grenade.

Thanks Blu, that is a real shock! Do you know which grenade was converted to take the fuze? Have you (anyone) seen one of these in the flesh? Any more information would be great and thanks Dave for the links.

Only saw the fuze in flesh, the bomb never, apearently the body was the German rifle grenade 1914.
