*WW1 18PDR British Shrapnel Shell Fuze found on the Somme*

WW1 18PDR British Shrapnel Shell Fuze found on the Somme and mounted as a display piece. Marked Lot 158 1917.

This fuse was entirely made in brass. The time system is a classical rotating disk system, a departure ignition caused by an axial time pellet caused by the discharge shock momentum. The percussion system, selectable by choosing the rotating disk graduation marked with a roman cross was a very classical one as well, of graze type, with a staple safety device actionned by the shell departure shock. A gunpowder load was placed at the base of the fuze to ignite the shell (with an additional detonator if needed).
