French 30/55 Model 1889 T Time and Percussion Fuse-This is missing some of the internal parts but is still a great display piece. This information was found on the “passioncompassion1418” website.

The French Marine developed its own time and percussion fuses from 1886 with the 18/28 Mle 1886 time and percussion fuse for the 65mm shell, equipped with a Robin percussion system, followed in 1889 by a 30/55 Mle 1886/89 time and percussion fuse system Robin for the 14cm and 16cm guns shells.

This fuse was allowing noticeably longer flight times than the fuses of the same period, since it was graduated from 0 to 49 seconds instead of the usual 22 or 30 seconds.

The Army adopted in 1889 a fuse with similar dimensions, shapes and properties, but equipped with the Saussier percussion system. This new fuse was called 30/55 mm model 1889 time and percussion fuse. The Marine decided to abandon its original design and adopt the one of the Army in 1901.

In 1902, a lateral stud was added at the tronconic hat base of the Mod 1889 fuse to make it compatible with the mechanical time setting machine ('débouchoir double'). This new version was consequently named 30/55 mm model 1889 T time and percussion fuze.

The fuse tail plug was given an unusual conical shape designed to penetrate more easily into the gunpowder mass of the shell to which the fuse was screwed, with two vents obturated with copper sheets. The 30 mm tail thread could be changed into a 40mm one using an adapter ring Mod 1889. This long combustion time fuse was mainly used with the shells of the:


•    105 mm field guns (rear charge shrapnel shells)
•    120 mm guns (shrapnel shells)
•    155 mm guns (shrapnel and illuminating shells)


A purely time fuse (without percussion system) was developed in 1913, principally for the anti-aircraft artillery, so that a shell that did not explode in the air would not explode when hitting the ground, usually in friendly territory. While the head of this 30/55 mm model 1913-time fuse without detonator was identical to the one of the 30/55 mm model Mle 1889 time and percussion fuse, its tail was of course much shorter, filled with gunpowder instead of the percussion system, and closed by a flat plug.

This variant was mainly in use with the shells of the:
•    75 mm anti-aircraft guns (rear charge or mixed charge shrapnel shells, tracer shells)
•    105 mm guns (tracer shells).

This is a very interesting display piece!

Very good, comfortable, breathable, and easy to maintain
Size: One Size, Color: Black, Size: One Size, Color: Black
I really like this visor and use it often for workouts and outdoor activities. It’s easy to wash and doesn’t lose its fit like Velcro visors that stop sticking after a few washes. The material is lightweight and breathable, making it great for running, pickleball, or golf without trapping heat. The one-size-fits-all stretch fits comfortably and stays in place without feeling tight. It’s comfortable enough to wear for long periods and doesn’t cause pressure. Plus, the clean and stylish design makes it look good both during workouts and casually. Pros Easily washable (no Velcro to wear out) Breathable and lightweight for sports One-size-fits-all with a comfortable stretch Secure fit that doesn’t slip Looks stylish Cons Doesn’t have a very solid shape if you prefer a stiffer visor

A great running visor hat shades the face and keeps sweat out of your eyes.
Size: One Size, Color: Orange
I usually run in really hot and humid conditions and generate a lot of sweat, so wearing a visor allows the body heat to escape through my head and also acts as a sweat band. I needed replacements and decided to give these a try. They were beyond my expectations. The visor design is very light, thin fabric but the bill is very rigid. You can't adjust its fit and it was very tight when I first put it on. However, after an hour of running, it was very comfortable. It has a full sized bill and provided full shade coverage for my face and had no problems with sweat in my eyes. The visor construction was such that it held sweat really well. The design also caused the sweat to travel down the bill and drip off of its edge instead of down onto my face. I only wrung it out a couple times during a very sweaty runs to get the sweat out of the band. I love these visors, they are a great value for their quality, and have already bought a couple more.

Blue Color is off from photos.
Size: One Size, Color: Blue
The visor is lightweight and feels comfortable however I bought this for the color of blue which was a shade off from the photos. I was expecting more of a royal or blue with a purplish hue. This doesn’t match the blue color I was going for. The visor is great otherwise.

Perfect for beach life
Size: One Size, Color: Light Purple
I got this visor about a week ago and love it. I’ve worn it to Busch Gardens (not on the rides of course), paddle boarding and to the beach. It’s soft and the elasticity is perfect, not too tight but does fine on a windy beach day. It’s sweat absorbing and dries quickly. I washed it in a bra bag in the machine and air dried it, no problems. I’ve already ordered another color!

LOVE these visors!
Size: One Size, Color: Navy Blue
I love these visors. They are the best that I have ever purchased. They are so comfortable and stay on your head without slipping and sliding while playing golf. I have three colors, and anticipate I'll be buying more colors soon!
