Fuze ID please

Have a look on the top of your fuze, if you see a marking EP, it's the belgian time fuze of WW 1 "fusee a temps de campagne" or "fusee a temps de place".
I'll look for more info tomorrow.

it's a Krupp Time fuze, exported to many countries...

@Yoda: the belgian type of this fuze has the numbers upside down to make them readable from the top.
 
Thanks. Do you know its technical name or have you any datasheet?

I don't have this fuze, I only want know more about it because it's described in the 1940's spanish manual "Servicio de recuperacion de material de guerra" (War materiel recovery service)

It's called "Time Fuze Krupp 11 seconds". No further information.

I found a nice pic from google (iaaforum.org) but the link is broken

Thanks and regards.

That's difficult to answer, Krupp itself used designations like "Zeitzuender S/11" or "Zeitzuender C/89", so they named fuzes after burning time or year of developement.

Most countries which introduced these fuzes in their armies gave them own designations in the own language.
