    Is this a fuse pin?

    I got this in a box of miscellaneous US military pins and patches. I thought it might be a fuse pin for some type of ordnance that the soldier kept as a souvenir. The lead part is 7/16" diameter.

    Anyone know what it might be, or what country?

      It looks like a fuze safety wire of some kind.....the wire is secured to the fuze at the factory with the lead seal and when it is being prepared to use it's cut and the fuze pin removed.

        It rather looks like a vintage customs seal.

        In my opinion it has nothing to do with any fuse.

          As it has no markings, a factory seal makes more sense.

            These kind of seals are still used nowadays. I got some Panzer track links from Poland with very similar seals.

              I have observed similar wire/lead seals on WWII US ordnance items; in such cases the lead seal had the US ordnance "flaming bomb" stamped into it (if it has been used). If the lead seal has never been used, then it will be "virgin" clean and won't have the flaming bomb embossed into it. The flaming bomb was embossed into the lead seal by operation of a pliars-like device that is used to squeeze the lead seal to secure it, once both ends of the wire are running through the lead and the seal is being put into place.

                I knew I had a fuze with the wire around here someplace!
