Hello,

This fuze and the fragments next to it, were found in an excavation.
I suspect, because of the dates and and historical evidence, that these were fired by 25pdr guns of the Iraqi army in 1948.

Thank You,

Assaf

Mostly likely a No 117 fuze used with the HE projectile

The fragments with the machining around the centre possibly No119 fuzes
