Hi,
I've already asked the guys from another forum but since I did not get an answer, the fuze seems to be a little bit difficult to identify and that's why I'm asking for your help: It is an Austrian looking fuze I recently bought. It's marked with something like "M80" and "S6". The visible brass part is approx. 38mm in height and the diameter is 48mm. Total height and diameter of the piece are 59mm and 69mm, respectively. Maybe someone can provide me with some information or even a drawing.
Many thanks in advance!

That is the point. I havn't seen something like this before. It's only a guess that it's Austrian because of the "M" marking. Maybe it's for naval shells?
