Unusual fuze ID please.

[SG500]

Can anyone help with identifying the fuze on this 1 pounder please. I've never seen this sort before.

The fuze itself comes apart but is empty inside but obviously used to have parts in there.

All inert etc.

Thanks.

Dave.

Dave,
Images need more light. At least I cannot make them out. Is that the projectile it is fitted?

Hi
It's a French base fuze for 75 mm shell

Yes sorry the flash packed up so they were the best I could take.
It screws into the projectile.

WOW that was unexpected, thanks.
The mystery here is that it screws into the 37mm projectile i.e. the fuze hole is much larger than you would expect for a 37mm projectile.
