Wanted to share these images. British No 105 BD fuze. Nice markings of this for viewing.

Does anyone have a cutaway or internal drawing?

From what I can see the markings are "No 501 I N B Ltd 10/43"

"No. 501 I" - Self explanatory to an extent Number 501 fuze Mark 1

"N" - Naval service

"B Ltd" - The manufacturer. There are a number of candidates for this, but I strongly suspect it is Bryces Ltd of Hackbridge, Surrey who, as part of the war effort made fuzes.

"10/43" Date of manufacture.

Your fuze appears to be missing a filling station mark and date, suggesting it was not filled.

Thanks

For the information on the markings. I have several, and I mean several, pics of different fuzes and other items I will be posting for everyones enjoyment.

An official document about this fuze that you may find useful.

Cheers,
Andy
