Try some differnt fuzes and see what fits. For use in something with a sloppy feed or single shot were projectile exposure isn't
an issue. No idea what though.
 
Not Boer, locally produced for their 1pr Maxims, I suppose.
My own example is VS&M, but by 1900 the supply of ammunition from that source might have been a bit precarious.

Hello,
Thank you for your answers.
Yes Mineaz16, I'm afraid that's it (deco).
Gordon, I have not found any compatible fuses yet.
Alan1, I believe Italy also produced some poorly finished shells during WW1. (?)
