Guest j.p.corcoran04 Posted 26 August , 2013 Share Posted 26 August , 2013 Hello everyone, I am new to the site and from having a very quick look around, it's seems a fantastic place to be, share news and ideas. I hope this isn't too much too ask from someone so new, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on an a curiosity I have had for some time? The image below depicts a WWI shell (c.1915) my younger brother brought back from France a number of years ago. At the top of the image there is a very small symbol that appears to look very similar to a propellor, or even that of a modern day radioactive symbol the Trefoil. I was wondering if anyone could subsequently identify this symbol and explain its meanings and origins? Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

johnreed Posted 2 September , 2013 Share Posted 2 September , 2013 It looks to me as if it is a British fuze 100. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
