Hello,
I picked this up yesterday as I thought it was unusual.

The fuze screws into a plinth for display,the plinth has the numbers,
10001-3133222-A on the front.
There is also what looks like a manufacturers logo next to the numbers,but it's faded so all I can see is a triangle.

The base of the fuze has, 10001-126881-G engraved on it.

The time scale runs from 1 to 45

I've attached 3 pics,showing front,base and top views.

Does anyone know what fuze it is and what the numbers signify please?

Regards,
Andy

To me it looks like some classroom training tool for a military school. Maybe to let a pupil show how he sets the correct time on a time fuze. Saying you know and understand something is different from doing it yourself afterward.
It may be a setting or calibration tool for fuze setting equipment, so you can afterward check if the time set corresponds with the amount of rotation of the time setting ring if you pull the fuze out of the setting machine.
However, as these are neatly modified parts of a fuze (someone spend time on it to make parts fit) it is shurely an object with a specific -most probably military- use.
