Attached are a few photos of an Oerlikon SAPHE round. All inert and unfortunately the fuze is missing but you get the general idea.
Has anyone got a sectioned one they can show that gives a good idea of what the fuze would look like?

Dave.

Dave,

Nice bullet!

I think I saw DJ Harms heading out to the shop with a hacksaw.
 
Thanks John.
I've just got a feeling he's already got one, lets hope so, I'd like to know what it should look like.
Dave.
 
Her's the cutaway model.
Regards, DJH

Dave, just for contrast I've sent you a pic of a sectioned based-fuze Oerlikon 35mm proj, which has a thinner nose and a lot more HE.
