is anyone here able to identify this (of course totally inert) british booster? Broad arrow and letters "Pb", "VD" are clearly visible.

Booster or Fuze;

Hi,
What makes this a booster and not a fuze?
Regards,
John
 
The internal parts... Inside the thread is a small primer followed by a small hole leading into a big chamber for a booster charge. No mechanical parts are inside.
 
Okay, perhaps you should show an illustrated parts breakdown (IPB).
