M739 pdsq?

Arrived yesterday, from what i have researched i believe this to be a M739 PDSQ fuze, Encased in a huge and heavy lump of perspex i assume that this was displayed like this to be used as a demo/show piece by the manufacturer.

I would be pretty interested in finding out more about this item.

Wow, nice item

Very nice item and a good demonstration of all the fuze components.
Must have been delivered by Fork Lift truck judging by the size of it.
Thanks for showing us all and congrats on such a good find.
 
Darren,

Your fuze is an M739A1, the identification confirmed by the green anodizing for EOD purposes, as it has a cocked striker and is extremely dangerous in a dud condition. These fuzes are anodized green so no one confuses them with M739 fuzes. See last paragraph sheet 3.

Did the ebay seller post this out to you or did you collect it?

I had nothing but trouble with the guy selling this,said he wouldn't post it or send by courier as it was too heavy!

When you get tired of it can I have first refusal please?:wink:

Cheers,
Andy
