Hi allan
It appears that this series upto No78 were never allocated, and that nothing was known about it , but will keep looking .

ive gone through every fuze list i have and like you say nothing there,he got this as a cutaway from a charity shop,sounds like hes got a rare find if it definately is a no72,also goes to show stuff is still out there

Hi
If i can say, it's strange , i've immediatly see in my head a pistol 37 stamping 72 hours (of cause)
It's a time fuze don't it?

No longer required ive seen the picture and its NOT a 72 its either a No80 with couple o bits missing or a 80/44 ,the fuze adapter ring is still fitted and its this that has 72 stamped on it not the fuze,,,thanks everyone for taking the time to look anyway....
