id fuze 2

[Pascal]

Hello

Here is the second fuze.

Just a marking : 1917 with a crown between 19 and 17.
Overall length : 57mm
visible length : 44mm
max diameter : 60mm
thread diameter : 48mm

next fuzes will come in few days.

thanks,

I don't have any references on this, but my guess is that it is Danish based on the crown and the HL (Haerens Laboratorievaerks) markings.

I haven't more informations for Danish ordnance but thank you : it's a clue

This is a Danish M1902 time and impact fuze under the licence of Krupp.

 

[Pascal]

Thank you, EOD.

Hello chris

Well done, old friend !

So, we can confirm Danish M.1902.


Thank you, all !

This is the drawing.

Sorry, I can't put more beatiful resolution, because I'm not sure the author wants this.

DanishDrawing;

Pascal,
Excellent line drawing, do you know who the artist is?
I find it so odd that all countries use the same principle in the time/impact fuzes. Set back to start the time sequence and impact inertia for the impact feature providing time has not run off.
Thanks for posting it.
Regards,
John
P.s. are you EOD or X-EOD?or and surely you are not as old as your avatar suggests.

If you mean the one in the drawing then we talk about a Krupp design which has been sold around the whole world to doozens of countries.
The whole British No80 series is a Krupp licence for example (and at least another one - forgot the number).

Hello

The "artist" is M.BELOT. Now, he's retired, but his son is always working for EOD french.

I'm EOD (I don't know what mean X-EOD. Retired, I suppose), and in fact, I'm not really as my avatar (or perharps if I eat/drink something bad ?)

In attachment, chris(with glasses) and me.

Yes X-EOD means retired EOD. That is a great photo of you and Chris. Your avatar really does not depict you. but I figured you were not an old man like the avatar. stay young
