British wooden grenade fuze.

[hampshireman]

Dos anybody have a good hand grenade fuze for the British 3 or 6 Pr grenade. I am completing a second issue of my book on British artillery fuzes ( up to 1926) but cannot find a suitable photograph to illustrate the fuze. It was a wooden fuze, just over 1.5 inches long, not painted but would have the number, in thousand and the date printed on it. If you could help with a photograph that I can publish it would be most helpful. Hampshireman.

David,

I don't have a photo immediately to hand but will sort one out.

Are these of any use? A 3lb from about 1850.

Sorry for the delay, working with a broken camera at the moment.

Many thank for all your replies. They are all very useful and will be used in the second edition of my book on fuzes.
