yes it is a turkish double action fuze for 7,5 cm (it's written on top) shrapnel shells. It is made in Germany by the Fried. Krupp A.G. in Essen and because of the aluminium rings I guess it was manufactured at beginning of 1st WW. The first of them were 100% made of brass and with continuing war more and more parts got replaced with replacement materials ending with a iron fuze body, Aluminium rings and magnesium alloy cap.
