I can't say what fuze it is from but I agree that it is the top part of a fuze. It reminds me of the top of the British No 117, although it is obviously not one of those but I think that yours is likely to be older, probably WW1.
 
Thank you, i'm like you, uncertain. This is probably ww1 but I found nothing in german, fr and gb.
 
Hello,

I'm quite sure it's the top part of a french time fuze 30-45mm model 1930 for AA shells.
The aluminium part is a safety obturator to stop fire transmission when the shell hit something (the ground for example).

Regards
