No.221 I Fuze Query

[arranjhendry]

Good morning,

I'm hoping for some assistance with some markings on a 221 fuze I've acquired, specifically I'm trying to find the manufacturer. The top fuze ring has the following text;

No221 I DLTD 8 42 (the LTD is also underlined). Opposite side has the following; BR 9 42 1083.

I'm not sure if the "BR" refers to Royal Ordnance Factory Bridgend? Which would make sense as the Fuze was acquired from Wales originally. Thanks for any assistance.

It's actually a "B" Bryce Ltd, Hackbridge, Surrey. https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Bryce
They were manufacturing fuzes up to the 60s and probably beyond.

"BR" is indeed R.O.F. Bridgend.

Ah that makes much more sense.

Thanks for your help TimG.
