WW2 British Number 247 ‘Always Fuze’.

This particular fuze was known as the ‘Always’ as it was designed to detonate on impact, no matter what angle it strikes. Originally designed for use with the N0. 69 Mk1 grenade its use was extended to other types of grenades as the need arose.

The body is made of Bakelite which contained a detonator pellet, striker, creep spring and weighted ball. A treaded cap closes the body which includes a flash hole to the base with the fuse being covered by a threaded safety cap, marked 247/MK1.

Priced to reflect excellent condition, with only the detonator pellet missing.
