Can anyone identify this fuse type, please? The material appears to be lead, so I am assuming it is German. Any information would be appreciated.

Looks like an EKZ 17 made from zink alloy and pig iron, used on HE and gas 7.7cm shells

That fits. Found at Bullecourt so likely to have been April/May, 1917.
