An inert WWII German navy- Kriegsmarine fuse Kz C/27 (Lm).

An original WWII German navy- Kriegsmarine fuse Kz C/27 (Lm). This fuse was used in shells that were fired from Naval heavy guns including 12.7cm cannons. This example is in great original condition with clear stampings and the German navy acceptance stamp Eagle over M. As with most German naval marked munitions, there is far less now surviving as vast majority went down with the vessels.

However, this particular fuse has some additional markings. LOT RA - 4R GR.1 are Norwegian. During the war a number of German battleships were stationed in Norway, including the Tirpitz. This fuse has almost certainly come from one of those ships.
