This relic consists of the iron nose of a French .75 shell with the Model 1916 fuse still attached.

This version of the fuse was called 24/31mm Mle 1916 time and percussion fuse with detonator, and it was mainly in use with the projectiles of the 65, 75, 90, 105, 120 and 155 mm guns (high explosive shells, with low ranges for the calibers higher than 75 mm).

The brass of the fuse is clean enough to see the time designation marks.

Location of recovery is unknown.  [ad] [ph:L]
