New Guy needs Help with Italian Fuse

[retireddigger]

Really enjoying the hours spent learning about fuses on BOCN. Can someone please help ID this fuse - presumably Italian, it is marked with a four intertwinding letters logo, maybe SHPE (?) over 1249 over FEB over 943. The number ring graduations go from 1 to 13 with a cross; underneath the 45mm threads LONGHINI 1249. Its about 73mm in height. Any help appreciated!

This fuze was used by Italian Navy during WW2 with illuminant projectiles cal. 120, 102, 100 and 76 mm, but it was in use with anti-aircraft shells for 76/40 guns too.
