Good morning, does anyone have a photo of a No.122 fuze? From its description it would appear to be very similar to a No.121.
Many thanks, Dave
Many thanks, Dave
That’s very interesting Darrel as the one I have is unmarked as to Fuze number and apart from a safety pin which I have never seen on a 121 or 124 before, is identical to a 121

On list of ww1 fuzes 122 is a modified 120 (with HE gaine) for 1.57in TM.
I already saw a 120 with HE gaine on 1.57in HE projectile (so a No 122).
No 120 had no notched ring.
So, as Chris fuze is marked 122, I assume 2 versions of No 122, one with head of 120 and one with head of 121 (with notched ring, I assume for auto fuze setter).
No 123 is also for 1.57 TM (with HE gaine), and same shape as 121. So not easy to make the difference.
