Vintage Military Training Device, Cut-away section of an military Fuse

An artillery practice fuse is a component of a training round designed to simulate the behaviour of a live fuse during firing exercises, allowing for realistic practice without the dangers of a live detonation. It's a crucial part of artillery training, enabling gun crews to refine their skills in setting, loading, and firing procedures

An artillery practice fuse, a cut-away fuse typically has a portion of the mechanism exposed, showcasing how it works internally. This is useful for both training and demonstration purposes, as it provides insight into the precise workings of the fuse, from the triggering mechanism to the timing and ignition process.

Simulating Detonation: While the fuse lacks explosives, it may have a mechanism that simulates the expected action of a live round, such as a pop or slight mechanical function at the end of the fuse's timer, giving trainees a sense of when and how a real detonation would occur.

The absence of an explosive charge makes the training exercise much safer while still providing realistic simulations.

A Rare Find for Military Enthusiasts

A cut section of a fuse like this would indeed be a collector's item for military enthusiasts or those interested in the technology of artillery. It could provide both educational value and serve as a rare historical artifact, particularly if it's from a particular period or weapon system that is no longer in active service.

Such items are often displayed at military museums, or they may be traded among collectors who specialize in military memorabilia, especially those interested in ordnance, artillery, and training equipment.
