-Bakelite / Zinc / Zinc / Marked bdn43, Finnish modification for training with permanently attached blasting cap. Remains of blue color indicating it was a WW2 inert training aid and traces of yellow color indicating the same post war. Finnish safety pin attached.

Hi Reino, if they are not all the ZZ-42 fuzes varieties, it is very close!!
Very nice collection you have put together.

I need to find a couple of those metal ZZ42 for my RMi43 sometime.
I missed bidding on a couple a few months back. :tinysmile_cry_t: there not easy to find really
 
Hi,

Here made all in metal ZZ 42 from RMi43.

Regards.
