Andy I think it is for an ejector seat/canopy.
Not really my thing - past or present, but usually once fired there`s some scorching - but like a trip flare the pin can sit against the primer in the `uncocked` position - so be wary!!
If you can get a NSN off it Google that as there are several sites that deal in these.

Hi Andy
Glevum is correct 00 is USA manufacture ID. (99 is UK).
I googled it & got this http://www.alicorp.com/007845212.nsn
This means it is a controlled component (which with a lot of american stuff for mil use - even a screw- can come up).
Since 9/11 the Americans put a lot of restrictions on parts that are/can be used on `military platforms` ie - planes & vehicles - even if those end users are in civilian use.
Makes my job a pain at times when it comes to getting stuff as I end up with loads of US Gov `end user` paperwork to clear!!
Interesting find all the same & not bad condition. Any history you know off. Usually most seat/aircraft parts are rotable so unless it has been used in `anger` surprised to see it.

Locations on Orford Ness range were used by both US and UK units to dispose of Service Life/Shelf Life expired items, and egress explosive items (CAD/PADs) have relatively short "lifetimes" and would definitely have been in shots at Orford. During my experience there from '78 to '81, we took items from nearly all of the "US force accomodations" (e.g. RAFs Lakenheath, Bentwaters, Upper Heyford, Welford, etc.) to Orford for demolition.

Cheers for that Taber - certainly clears that issue.
I don`t recall us sending any of our stuff to Orford `78-92 - place was tighter than a ducks, Lulworth etc were our `land unfill` sites!!
I was at Fairford on `standby` when/for the Tehran raid as part of the Brit JIC (Just In Case) team!! Great All Ranks Club & Pizza parlour as I recall.

Glevum, Hicky, sorry it is not, it is the code of the country that was first to adopt this ammunition (or here CAD) item. Have seen ammo being made in Germany (also designed there) for the US and it had the "00" on. So even if exported to other NATO countries or even if adopted by the German forces it will remain "00". If it will be made under licence in let's say China for Italy it will also be "00" (if Italy demands proper marking).
Many thanks guys for all your help but still can't find anything out about it,
