*British, WW2, Section Fuze No 117 Mark 111, Dated 1941*

Marked No 117 111 CY 10/41 2493

The No 117 is a percussion fuze that was used in 18 pound high explosive and smoke shells, 60 pound high explosive shells, and 6 inch howitzer high explosive shells.

Trials with the No 117 percussion (direct action) fuze began in 1920. The Mark I, having a one-piece shutter similar to the No 106E, was introduced in 1925 and, the design being cancelled, was declared obsolete in 1931. The fuze was redesigned with a two-piece shutter and slightly longer body and the No 117 Mark II was introduced in 1931. The No 117 ran for twenty-seven ‘Marks’ several of which were still in service in the late 1960s.
