Hello.
Here is a fuze, assembled on a projectile of 18cm.
Graduation from 1 to 17.
Cold brand on the top from the fuze 5 - 04 - mm
Thank you by advance

The projectile is an 18cm Glatte Wurf Mine, either chemical or HE filled.
Depending on the fill it should be fuzed with one of the following fuzes;

Z.s.u.m.W.M or I.W.M.Zdr 2 - Phosgene, phosgene/chloropicrin or Arsine pellets blended with HE.

Z.gl.WM - HE

As for this fuze, don't know yet............

Cheers

Hello Pete,

I'm sure Tarbelin51 knows that ! but this fuze is not in our manuals !!

A strange shape, like Erhardt combination fuze.

(Not exactly the same on diagram - same family ?)

Hi Tarbelin
It is a German fuze Ehrhardt, a time and percussion fuze used in 1900. This model was exported to the UK, she took the No58 (for 15 pdr shrapnel shells - 22 seconds) and was manufactured under license in the USA (for 3 inch shrapnel shells with the same time)
Ehrhardt company manufactured trench ammunition in WW1 (Mittlere-brand mine 14 amongst others) and mortars
a US drawing

Thank you all for your responses.
Thus, one starts with a Erhardt fuze to a scale of 1 to 17.
Again thank you. :congrats:
