Bob Grundy Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 On this item are the words; FUZE SETTER HAND L3A1. What shell would be set by this tool ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I THINK IT'S FOR THE NEW 60mm MORTAR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryb Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi Bob, L3A1 is the british practice grenade, I think the screw in fuse/ handle top has slots either side of the flange that this would fit into. but I may be wrong!...... terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Grenades do not have fuse that are 'Set' They are inserted. A 'setter' tool such as above, would be for a Mortar. Also the designation Fuse Setter, Hand L3A1. May well be the designation for the actual Tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 I have never heard of a new 60 mm Mortar. The tool was rusty when I discovered it a few days ago so its not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
