ElAZ 38

[satan18]

One of my fuses that i thought worthy of some light restoration.

Painted with what looked like jam and needing stripping back.

I havnt removed any of the machine marks which makes the
fuse look sharper,so this is about as far as you could go
on the metal side of things.

This is the Elaz 38 impact fuse used in the 250 500 and 1000 kilo
range of bombs

Nice clear head stamps,it looks well after the de-gunk.
Was that original paint or some sort of storage wash?

cheers

Hi Waff

2000 grade scotch pad which is an automotive product and a lot of
oil to reduce scratching.
