SOE fuzes box

[fullriede]

I did get this item together with other SOE stuff. It is a box for time fuzes, I think. But I can not find any informations about it. Can you help me?

Thanks.

Hi ... have seen these a couple of full boxes before and the time pencils were packed in a plastic cover. Maybe for tropical use ? Normaly the time pencils were dropped and packed with 5 in a black tin with a coloured tape sealing the tin.

That looks like a MUCH later than wartime L Delay tin to me.

Late in the war they were also delivered in tins of ten Time Pencils. Each Pencil was sealed in a vinyl bag as shown in the photo below. Yours could also be a post-war production, hard to tell without a date stamp.
