Belgium Fuze

[jvollenberg]

Here is an Unknown 13-Second Belgium (or that's how it is listed) fuze ...

Dia: 58MM
Length: 52MM
Fuze exposed length: 32MM

Can anyone tell me anything about the fuze? Nomenclature? What it goes in?

It's not a belgian fuze. These had the numbers upside down. It's a Krupp time fuze (unchanged design). If someone can recognize the small crown it may be a indicator of the country where it was used. Denmark could be an option?

Here is a close up of the crown ...

Hello,
I think it's time fuze Spanish Krupp-Rubin model 1891 with 13 second of delay.

The crown looks like the crown stamp used on Swedish mausers

That Spanish version looks spot on ... down to the markings.

Perhaps it is artistic licence here, but the profile of the drawing does not match that of the actual fuze.

Great pictures on that website though.

Thanks ... proof once again the museum was wrong by listing it as Belgium. So any ideas on the crown and number marking marking?

A much better likeness than the original picture.
