Would you, or any of your contacts, know where I might be able to obtain the proximity fuse from a WWII artillery shell (diagram below)?

I've recently come to understand the incredible significance of this prox fuse to the war effort and I would like to put one on display, showing the miniature electronics (especially the tiny vacuum tubes).

This may be a very difficult item to obtain, but I appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thank you!
