Does anyone have a B30 Soviet PD fuze they can send pictures of?

It goes on 30-MM ammunition, and the pictures we have are terrible. would like to get better ones of they are out there.

Thanks,

Joe

Actually ... perfect ... this is exactly what I was looking for.

Do you have the A-30 as well?

Bob, Is that the lead de-coppering wire I see attached to the bottom of the round? If so, cool, since that is usually tossed as extraneous. Regards, Bruce.

Bruce, you are correct.

On today's cartridges (like the 30x15) the Russians are glueing a thin lead foil to the inside of the case's neck.
