Description:At 2.7" long, this i .4" longer than the standard field caliber Hotchkiss percussion fuse. These were used in large caliber naval shells and are much, much less common to recover than the short ones used in field caliber projectiles. I have shown it aside one of the standard shorter ones in a picture here for comparison.
