Allan,

Thanks for reply Bonnex nice document, looks like this model mk6/2 was used for the 5.25in gun

Given the number of marks you would think I could find a decent drawing. Sorry this is damaged in the important places.

Minus markings !

Your fuze is missing its time engravings around the outside as indeed many are that now turn up at shows.
A very nice item and in excellent condition as well as complete.

I am beggining to wonder whether these fuzes were removed from the production line before the engraving process or whether with an automatic time fuze setter they omitted the markings as a cost saving as they became unnecessary ??
