it's a austrian 8 cm M.8 Schrapnell. The fuze is a austrian "M.8 Schrapnellznder". The fuze has nothing to do with krupp - construction is from Skoda influenced by Rheinmetall (Erhardt).
Alpini right, the fuze is a M8. But in my opinion a late war made "Ersatz" piece.
Here are mine (both INERT, FFE): http://imageshack.us/a/img84/577/m8ers.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img6/3366/95275893.jpg
Mine produced in 1917, in Weiss Manfrd (Hungary, Csepel).
As you can see, the fuze already made of two materials (not as the normal M8 fuzes).
Only the timing rings made of brass, the fuze body and the "nose" made of zinc(?) alloy.
