I have these two rifle grenade fuzes, the brass one seems common, but I've only seen one other picture of the version with the vanes on the nose; and would like to know what it's for or used with. Thanks, Depotman.
I believe it was introduced to improve the functioning of the M1914 Rifle Grenade on graze. I have seen several but all were made of the grey alloy rather than brass.
As Bonnex said, this fuze would have been produced late to improve the sensitivity on impact (they are not exactly vanes but certainly an anti-burial device).
This fuze is often confused with a fuze for air-dropped grenade.
