Turkish Fuze Caps

[Millsman]

I've recently acquired these Turkish fuze caps on wooden mounts which I assume will be souvenirs from the Gallipoli Campaign 1915-16.

Can anyone tell me what fuze they came from?

Many thanks

Hello,
I checked in my archives of ww1 Turkish fuzes and only this one could match (top part), I don't know the nomenclature (I assume made by Krupp).

Thanks - that's a start.

I've just found this thread on the Great War Forum

Post #19 states "From the inscription on the top, this fuze is for the 12cm Obus (Howitzer) and was locally produced at the Tophane Foundry."

So that may well be the correct answer
