I have two German KZ 40 fuzes, one fully strips and was like this when i purchased it, the other i cannot open up.
The one that i have that strips has two small holes drilled into it, perhaps this is where retaining pins were removed?
Photo 1 - Complete fuze (stripable)
Photo 2 - Shows the two holes on the underside of the rim
Photo 3 - shows the two holes clearly in the base part and the nose cone part
Photo 4 - Complete fuze (non stripable)
Photo 5 - Shows the underside of the rim (i cannot see any retaining pins here to drill out)
Does anyone know why these two holes were drilled out? were they to remove retaining pins or for another reason?
Has anyone disassembled one of these fuzes before? can anyone give me any advice/info on the best method of unscrewing the nose cone of my second fuze? I cannot see any retaining pins and do not want to go drilling holes for no reason.
Thanks,
Darren
