I am trying to find any technical drawings or photos of sectionalized Fuze PD DM111 used on 60mm and 81mm mortar ammunition. Can anyone help me out?
 
From the Afghanistan ordnance recognition guide. Sorry no section.

Another training kit, complete fuze, cutway (unfortunately not much to see) and one with the top removed. There are some laminated cards identifying the components and arming sequence but I don't have a photo of them.

Very nice, I had a difficult time separating the upper portion from the lower portion. I had a jig made to help. It allows the bottom portions to be secured in a vice so the upper portion can be unscrewed.

It is a bit more involved, but I won't go into detail due to the sites policy on making item inert.
