Hello to All...so, I couldn't find a way to send smaller pictures, so my son Jeff helped me put them on another site, so you can see them there without taking up huge amounts of e-space, here.
If you look at the rest of the pics in the gallery, some are unusual, and some are just cool, including a couple I traded with Ronnie Mc to get over the decades...like the hand-carved Bormann, and the Naval fuse an iron wire in the base for who knows what reason?
It's really the first fuse in the gallery that I'm excited about...many drill holes were added to what looks like a standard US Naval fuse, but it could also be a CS fuse completely, as they made many variants of naval fuses that were close to US variants. But I think it's a CS field adjustment of a US fuse...the exterior threads are filed or sanded down, and the rim also...it's also had a lead plug added to the bases...as a safety?...as a water plug?
Anyway, curious about opinions about this one, and a few others in this small gallery I've shared...one is a CS conversion of a US watercap, and one looks to be a CS conversion of a US Hotchkiss percussion, for use in a small ball...another is a US watercap that was squared at the top for some reason. (for removal with a wrench??)
Sorry it took me so long to share pics here...it's just that my camera, and even my iPhone pics, were too big to share directly here.
Best, from Ward Reilly
