Description:Highly desirable and hard-to-find Archer percussion fuse. This is the type shown in Chuck Jones' fuse book on page 56.
This fuse is clearly fired and the striker is jammed forward under the fuse head that acted as the anvil cap. The base plug plug is missing although most of the threads for it are intact in the fuse body.
The threads are in good shape generally and with a modest effort I am sure this fuse could be screwed into a shell for display.
