No. 85 fuze maker?

[Darkman]

Would anyone know the US maker of this 1917 dated No. 85 Mk I fuze please? It’s an A over G inside a fuze symbol. No. 85 fuzes were adapted from the US m1907 Scovill fuzes and the only makers I’ve seen previously are BSC, Scovill as a subcontractor to BSC and ALCO.
Thanks, Graeme

The American Ammunition Company. An alternative is A/S within the symbol.

I have been waiting a long while to see that monogram, so thanks for posting.

Thanks Snufkin. I think I have have seen American Fuse Co. (A.F. Co.) as a maker on No. 85s also, but this one is a new one for me. Now I have something to look up.

A.F.Co. stamped on a fuze was the monogram for the Artillery Fuse Company, Wilmington, Delaware - a photo of boxes of T&P fuzes ready for shipping here:
