Hello,
I need to have a correct actual origin country of the two fuzes that I found in Kosovo (2001).
The fuzes are UTM 5 and UTM 94 (see pics).
Can someone help me ?

Thanks

Yoda

That will be difecult, we found a lot of them in Bosnia but I am not for sure or these where produced over there. We have these and simular fuzes but smaller used on rifle gernades also.

Hi BLU97,

I known the difficulty of my request. It's a problematic situation. I will put these fuze in a database and I will be so correct as possible. I can easilly place them under "former yougoslavia", but that's a facility solution. If it is possible, I would place them under a correct land of origin.

Thanks for help :top:

This is impact fuse produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina during war 1992-1995 for mortar shells 60mm and 82mm. it has very similar construction but simpler to some point to UT M62P3 fuse.
If material of the is similar to cardboard than fuse is produced in factories in city Zenica but also fuse body can be made of plastic.
 
Hi Al'Saad,

thanks for answer. My fuzes are made in a sort of grey-yellow hard plastic.
UTM5 was found on a 60 mm HE mortar, UTM93 was found on a 81 mm mortar. All two were disposed by LO technics so that I could find the fuzes back.

great thanks :hello:

if the plastic is not slick, but is slightly rugged than and when you touch it feels like cardboard than it is fuse made in Zenica.
 
Her some exampels we have, a M-5 for the 60 and 82 mm mortar and a M-3 as used on rifle greneades. Perhaps al'saad can make something out of the markings.
PS photo's are a bit red but the color is tha same as the one on the rifke grenade.
