917601 Posted June 10, 2025 #2 Posted June 10, 2025 Any engraved lettering? Top is a CP fuze ( concrete piercing). I have a WW2 dated one in my WW2 155G projectile…Rarer “ G” ( Long Tom) not “ H”. https://www.bulletpicker.com/pd_-m78-series.html History, original designation “ T105”, designed for hardened concrete fortifications. Famously used in Pacific the last months to collapse the Japanese caves. The “ T” was a test designation, the T fuzes were rushed to the Pacific theatre…..a WW2 cannon cocker related that to me. After the war they were accepted and designated M78 CP. I have about a dozen, some unmarked, some T105 WW2 dated, and a few M78 marked.
917601 Posted June 10, 2025 #3 Posted June 10, 2025 Disregard, I got all excited and didn’t notice your measurements. The M78 has a 2” thread O.D.. However, yours appears to be a CP type fuze. Scroll through the BulletPicker site and you should find it.
