Austrian Fuzes from the 1860s - I.D. required

[Depotman]

These are from a collection of fuzes used by the Austrian Artillery in the war in Bohemia and Italy in 1866 and presented to the British Government in 1867 by the Imperial Austrian Government. Does anyone have any fuze/type numbers or any other data for any of these? Thanks, Depotman.



Sorry about lack of scale; 1st pic is about 100mm long (max), 2nd pic is probably about 30-35mm high, the 3rd is about 25mm dia, 4th 5th and 6th have thread dias of approx. 30mm.

Two more pics of a box of fuzes:-

awesome collection! Never seen fuzes of that age in such a nice condition.

No.3: Prussian C/61 percussion fuze, the last two pictures show parts of the same fuze. After Austria lost the 1866 war against prussia they adopted the prussian artillery system too (including these fuzes).

No.4: Austrian M.1863 time fuze for "System Lenk" muzzle loading artillery system (for shrapnel shells)

No.5: Austrian M.1863 concussion fuzes also for "System Lenk" (HE-shells)

No.6: Breithaupt time fuze for spherical shrapnell shells
