Thank you guys for this info, very helpfull & interesting.
Does anyone know if fuzes were interchangeable between countries or did everyone have their own? eg: will an Italian fuze fit a Belgian projectile fuze adapter?

I'm familiar with krupp shells are right hand rifled, as you can see from picture.
Time fuze was similar (italian mod 1906) was a krupp model, but the screwing rifling depends to the bore rifling.
I see on some picture belgian shell with time fuze identical to italian.
here a krupp ftime fuze for turkey http://wk2ammo.com/showthread.php?t=4113
Krupp percussion fuze was adopted by italian like mod 1906, but italian changed it in 1910 (as you can see in picture).
