No 878 Mk2 Rocket Fuze

[ron3350]

Here is another fuze I picked up this week.
It is a base fuze for the rocket 3" and 5" but is missing the top brass cap.
I ask if this has 2 drilled holes at the top ? I can make a replacement.
It has the spring, striker and shutter but needs a cap.
Who is RON. I certainly did not make it? Dated 8-53. Introduced in 1944.
It is a graze thermo initiated no delay base fuze and is made of brass.
I saw an old thread on this forum but I show the headstamp markings.

RON - Roneo Ltd, Romford, Essex (as in duplicators). I'm not 100% on this as the recorded monogram for Roneo was 'Roneo' but they did make fuzes.

This is what the fuze looks like on average! Harry

6 years later but I just found this No 878 Mk1 fuze in a 3" SAP 60 lb rocket head.
I show the two fuzes together but any differences must be internal as both are empty missing the nose parts.
