Unknown shell with mushroom looking fuse

[al'saad]

pls helm me with ID of this item, as I haven't find such a fuse anywhere i my books. thanks!

 

[spotter]

looks like part of the fuze has rotted away sead,,leaving just the more solid top piece

I've seen PTTF fuzes on WWI sharapnel rounds that lost the time rings after impact - they looked very similar as well.

 

[DICKAREN]

I would agree that it it looks WW1 era and has lost its aluminium time rings. Possibly a German HZ05?

Do you have any better pictures without the shadow?

Does it/did it have a driving band?

Cheers

Hi Sead,

I'm not 100% sure but I think that you have a WW I German 10,5 cm shell with the rest of a Dopp Z S/43 fuze.

Should you can write the dimensions of the shell (with fuze and without fuze, diameter, distance between base and driving band, width of driving band) because so on pictureit,s difficult to read the correct measurement. They are so much different models of 10 cm shells ... !!!

HiI
think it's a Granate-Srapnell M14 for austrian 10cm M14

the fuze is the ersatz production, brass-zamac 10cm M14 time and percussion fuze

best regards

I will try to provide more detail measurements of this shell, i have also suspected on wwi era time fuse, but i wasn't 100% sure. thanks on help.

 

[Alpini]

Fert is right, it is for sure a austro-hungarian "10 cm M.14 Granat-Schrapnell"

Fert/Alpini,

You guys know far more than I on the A/H shells, but I don't see a single driving band on the recovered shell matching the one in the picture. Am I mistaken in thinking there are two thin driving bands on the shell in question?

Sir,
The circular grooves near the base of the fuse makes it a powder train time fuse.
Sorry I don't kow the fuse nationality or number. PUCA!
Regards,
John

i have inspected shell in detail, and there is only one driving band groove on its body.

Thanks for the clarification. What I thought was a thin band must be the edge of the missing band groove.
