Hi,
Would someone have any idea what the fuses look like that were used in this tin box. No. 200311430813 on U.K. Ebay.
Many thanks,
Invest

I'm sure the aerial bomb fuze boys will tell you what could have been in the box originally. What I can tell you is that it certainly isn't an SOE/OSS store.

Hi Jason
The box is for the delay element for the fuze, s listed on the box these look like 2inch round containers with bickford cord wound inside and were used on the 4.5 inch flares See Chapter 3 page 10 -3 0f British Bomb and Rocket Pistols and Fuzes by Dave Andrews and Alan Swan
