think these are quite rare to find.
Impact or they have a zero to 30 second fuse.
Think these were for bigger shells of 100mm or more.
Have only seen one myself in bad condition.
 
bartering

Thanks for all the wonderful input guys. I have this "chinese hat" Russian fuze coming in as part of a trade deal. I had to give up my British WW1 #16 MK1 grenade (like pulling my heart out out) but also with the Russian fuze a surprize piece of ordnance is also being thrown in ( makes me feel like a kid at the fair winning the grabbag) There is only one thing I like better than a surprise piece of ordnance, and that would be a surprise piece of, oops better switch forums. Cheers. Dano
