Guest Bernard Plumier Posted 7 August , 2005 Share Posted 7 August , 2005 Hi, I bought that fuse in Albert in the Somme, and can not find out what is its type, or event its nationality. It is graduated from 10 to 250 (which is quite high !), made of brass and steel, with a 15mm hole at the top, 80mm high, base diameter approx 75 mm. No inscriptions visible but the graduations. Could someone help, since I would like to add it on my WW1 fuses collection webpages (My WW1 fuses collection) Regards and hope ! Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted 8 August , 2005 Share Posted 8 August , 2005 Bernard, I think you have a 'converted' fuze. The Direct Action fuze has been converted by the addition of a timed base. Possibly timed fuze type 211. Just a guess! I may have a copy of the markings code. If I find them, I will send them to you.

johng Posted 9 August , 2005 Share Posted 9 August , 2005 Bernard, a very useful source for this type of information is a Steve Johnson website: "An Illustrated Treatise on Ammunition and Ordnance. (British 1880-1960)". The Web Address is: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/stephen.johnson/arms/ This is a section of a page. Regards, Johng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
