Fuze ID

[MINENAZ16]

Hello,

I keep for some time two pictures of an unknown fuze posted on Bocn.

Today I found completely by chance the same fuze in a Spanish auction website. Coudl it be a Spanish fuze (or made for Spain with a strange Czech design) ?

Regards

The aluminium cap on the left picture is not correct. The fuze is designed for a sheet metal cap. The original cap was crimped into the groove around the upper ring of this fuze.

Yes, you're right Alpini !

Hello,

Found a complete one, from Spain too. Maybe this fuze was used in Spain : http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/89671-Some-possible-identification-for-these-fuzes

I can't help you anymore with the identification, but after looking one more time at this fuze and the pictures of the sectioned fuze I don't longer think it is czech design. Only the outside shape of the fuze body has some traces of czech design. The mechanics inside doesn't remember me of any czech fuze. And when looking at the time scale on this fuze I would fully exclude that this fuze was made by Skoda or an other czech factory. The numbers on this scale are manufactured very inaccurate - maybe hand stamped. All czech or czechoslovakian fuzes I have seen are quality products with perfect and clean manufactured scales.
