Hungarian Beauty.

[waffenamt]

Can anyone tell me any info about this little beauty i got in a deal?
My pal got the 50 kilo it came in and i got the fuze.
Im aware its a Hungarian made fuze but what about application and manufacturer please?
Was it only used in a 50 kilo?
Same length and diameter as a standard german fuze.

Hungarian 38M magnetic fuze.
Used in Hungarian 50kg 36M and 36/38M, 250kg 36/40M and 40M bombs.

This bombs are near same than German SD-50 and SD-250 bombs.

Excellent information!,thank you.

Is it a borrowed idea off germany or did the germans indeed use it?

It's a good question. Unfortunately I don't have info about this. In my opinion Germany didn't use in their bombs, but I think this fuze is possible to use German SD-50 and SD-250 bombs.

Strangely enough i would have walked past that one but it goes to show just how rare and important that fuse is and definately one to be kept on the top of the collection :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Im trying to think where ive spotted one before??
Mebbe on millsgrenade site or airdropped ordnance?? Either way,i knew it was some sort of weird fuze with the shape of the head when i saw it in that 50 kilo pocket.

Hi Steve,
Cheers for the info.
I wonder why that is as i would have thought a minty early 17 with minty clocks is the big prize?

To a collector like me,any acquired item is worth what i paid and no more as they stay in the collection.If i can get it cheap then all the better.
Someones gonna have a good weigh in one day, once ive kicked the bucket!. :neutral:
