WW2 USA shell with TSQ M54 fuse. It was a superquick or time action (to 25 seconds) type fuse. Its time system was a classical two-discs pyrotechnic type, and its superquick impact system was a very simple inertia mechanism located at the very top of the cone.
This fuse was usually used with the high explosive projectiles of all calibers, including 75, 90, 105 and 150 mm

Is it possible, that this one was used for sending leaflats?

Maybe . . . . .

" According to a recent FM-33-1-1 Psychological Operations Techniques and Procedures, PSYOP units may use either of two types of leaflet artillery rounds (LARs) - the 155-mm LAR (XM951) or the 105-mm LAR (M84). The 155-mm LAR is preferred for use in PSYOP because it was specifically designed to deliver leaflets.

The 105-mm LAR is actually a modified smoke round and is less safe than the 155-mm shell.
The 105-mm LAR leaflet roll is 10 1/2 inches in height with an outer diameter of 3 inches. The maximum range is 11,500 meters and the desired burst height is 27 to 46 meters. The accuracy of these shells is not very good because the weight of the leaflet-filled round is so light that standard firing tables do not match the ballistics. "

I am a trader. There is very little value remaining in your item due to its condition.
