We also need the 472 if you wouldn't mind posting the pictures ... we could get a publication out on that one.

Here are images of: LI 473, LI 472 and a cutaway of the LI 472, and again 2 images of the LI 463.
Do you have any short datas of these, I could use this for my Database also.
Otherwise, contact me under mtifuze@yahoo.com

Its interesting ... we don't seem to have much on these fuzes other than type. In fact I am wondering about country of origination. There seems to be a question of Greece or Sweden.

It seems most of the information we have is just the nomenclature and the stuff found in Janes (which is not much).

About all I am going to be able to give to the Techs is a images (those that you and others have provided). If we find more and I can, I will post what we figure out as we research these more.

Wish I knew more.

Wouldn't the designation "LI" indicate "Lindesbergs Industri A.B., Lindesberg" of Sweden?

 

[jvollenberg]

yeah ... I just learned that from another member who e-mailed me. Obviously we have it all messed up on this end. But I am in the process of fixing it.
