Evening all,

I have an unknown proximity fuse with absolutely no markings at all - current "guestimate": post war 3.7" proximity fuze, perhaps experimental.........

All thoughts are most welcome.

Thanks
Cheers
Drew

Hello Drew
I also have the top part of this proximity fuze - No base extension. Gray plastic cone and a copper band.
It came in a box of assorted Australian etc fuze bits about 1990 and I believe it is Australian or experimental? Mine also has no markings.

I missed the second photos with brass tip and plastic band.
I also had two of these fuzes in the same lot. Mine is stamped:
N 81 MK 4 GH MF 2/57 110 so it is definitely Australian
