Don't think these nose cone fuses are dangerous.....they were just timing devices for the main part of the shell. I've got 4 or 5 hanging around in my yard......free to a good home!!! :D
Looking for stuff.....mainly in fields.......

They are no. 199 nose fuzes from AA artillery shells and appear to be spent, so not dangerous at all. If you don't want them I will gladly and them to my War Room museum. I'll even pay the postage :) They will clean up very nicely :) I don't yet have an example with the zinc nose cone still intact.
