id fuze 1

[Pascal]

Hello gentlemen

My chief give me a challenge : I must id 5 "strange" fuze he hasn't identified yet.

This is the first.

Il seems it's russian, because there is the marking "P" letter, and I found a drawing with almost same fuze (double effect 34 seconds), but mine has 33 seconds delay, and the upper part seems more thin.

Have a look at pictures. Do you know my fuze (his fuze ?)

Hi Pascal, Definately Russian, but beyond that I am at a loss.....Dano

If the fuze is the one in the drawing (looks much like) it is a Schneider design sold to Czarist Russia before WWI for naval/coast artillery armament.
Most likely these fuzes were imported from France what makes sense if Pascal is located in France.

Hello EOD

Yes, effectively I'm in France, and you're right : inside there is a segment system (like on 24-31 schneider fuze). Infortunatly I forgot my camera but tomorrow I'll put more pictures.

Thank you very much

Hello.

I'm back.

News pictures with Schneider system inside, you are right.

Thanks

Hello guys!
That is Schneider fuze E.S. 6 for QF field howitzers 120mm and 150mm, this specimen is made for Serbia, excellent condition ! Bravo !

More pictures, enjoy it

Hello

Yes, well done : ES6 seems the real Schneider name.

How can you determine this one was for Serbian ?

Easy
Cirilic letter П mean "Перкусија" or Percussion, on Russian or Bulgarian fuzes is УД , "Udar" or Impact. All Serbian fuzes for QF Schneider guns ( 75mm,120 and 150 mm)have this letter.
Some fuzes have on bottom of aluminium body cirilic stamps "150 m/m хаубица М-1910", what stamps in on this fuze ? And do you make photo of this stamps please ?
Thank you for more photos, I never see that fuze in this conditions !

Pascal I have on question for you please, because you are French.
Do you know what mean this Schneider marks ? Shortcut from wich words ?
E.S on this model or E.C. on model for field cannon 75 mm. ?
Thank you

Hello

Thank you for your response. No there wasn't more marking on this fuze unfortunatly.

I don't know what mean EC or ES on schneider fuzes; I just took a look on a book but I don't found your answer.

I will search this for you.

Yes, I agree with you, and believe me, it's my colleague. I told him this, but too late...

Hello

I found only the ES marks on a french fuze : 22-24mm Mle 1918ES Sabathe (on navy 37mm shell), and the letters ES mean "Extra Sensible". I'm pretty they haven't any link with the schneider fuses.

Sorry.

Hi Pascal,
Thank you for your effort any way, I hope that we one day find meaning of this marks. I`m only sure that is commercial Schneider marks, and I think that second latter in marks meaning "Campane" and "Siege" for letter "E" I don`t have idea !
Best regards.
