I'm not able to do the research right now, but I want to say it was used on a variant of the M114 bomblet. I've got photos in my files someplace, but won't have a chance to look for them for a day or two.

Hi US-Subs,
Should you have data's about the M114 itself ?

Yes, but unfortunately US law makes it difficult to share. Moving any data on CBRN out of the country, open sourced or not, can be seen as proliferation. It is a gray area, with some offices seeing room for movement, others seeing none. The potential penalties for violation can range from mild to severe. It leaves most of us caught in the middle. Previously, while working for a UN linked Organsation in the Netherlands and as a US citizen, I had museums in the US that refused to share information with me on items in their collections. Sorry.

As I am no subject to any of the above regulations here what I have found in the web somewhen - the cutaway fuze was on E-Bay some years ago (who's ever copyright it is):

It is even on Wikipedia:

the fuze in the first post of this thread looks to be a different shape

 

[Mrfuze]

We have this one in the ref. collection too, same thread pitch and diameter as th M174, so I think it will be for some sort of M114's.

Allan, I am aware of the differences. The one in question has no "M" number on as the ones here in my posting are M174 fuzes which are obviously down the road of development. As US-Subs and MrFuze implied the one in question may be a developmental type for the M114.
