INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a near mint, strippable, unfired British WW1 No 100 nose impact fuze for high explosive and smoke projectiles. The fuze was one of the first streamlined fuzes for high explosive rounds and was in service at the start of the First World War in 1914. The fuze proved far from satisfactory and was soon replaced by the number 101 later the number 106 fuze. The fuse is stamped round the circumference No100 – 1B a crowfoot, a manufacturers monogram of a Griffin and the letter M LOT 4 – 2/16 (February 1916 date). the fuze strips into its original components, including the cocked pellet in the bottom of the fuze and the screw on brass gain holder. The fuze is completely made from brass except for the screw on steel top with the firing pin in. See Hogg British Artillery Weapons and Ammunition 1914 – 1914 page 251.
