Unknown fuze.

Hello everybody,

Today I found a fragment of a brass fuze.
The diameter is approximately 5cm.

Photo 1: T.G.C. (possibly The Gramophone Company?)
Photo 2: 4 AB
Photo 4: Pretty much deformed, no markings left.
Photo 5: Bottom

Anyone who recognizes this fragment?

Thanks in advance,
Stuka.

Hi,

Here are some other objects that I don't immediately recognize to a specific fuze.
All of them are found in an area full of No.117 and No.119 fragments, so I assume that they are in some way related to it.
I hope someone could help me. Thanks in advance.

Object 1: Small brass fuze fragment, no markings.

Object 2: A brass fuze-like thing. Also no markings.

Looks like it hit something.

The other side shows some screw threads.

Object 3: Something made from zamac/zinc, the same material as used for some No.119 fuzes.
The diameter is 4cm.

the first fuze, does look to be the remnants of a British no.244.
Like the one I have.
