Hello, Shipwreck -

I'm not an "expert" but I think I can help a bit.

Photos 1 and 2 are of a German howitzer fuse.

Photo 3 appears to be of the nose of a shell for a field gun, possibly French.  [I would need to examine it to be certain.]

Photo 4 is of a French percussion fuse, most commonly used in French 75mm shells for the field gun.

Photos 5 and 6 are of the base of a 150mm shell, with the brass base fuse in the center.  [I thought that it was of the base of a German 210mm shell until I saw that it was 6" (150mm) in diameter.]  The markings on the fuse should indicate the nationality.

I don't know what photo 7 shows, but it may be an elevating screw for some sort of artillery piece.  [That's just a wild guess.]

Real experts probably will tell us more...

Regards, Torrey

I think that looks more like a spring around a metal bar, rather than a screw thread cut into a metal bar. 

 

Many variations of military wagons and field guns had a spring around a bar in the brake system to keep the brake pads clear of the wheel when the brakes were not engaged.
