Hello Spotter! I do not believe that your feather/spring original am! Exhibition times my feather/spring is built to 90% into my UK-Bombenzndern on. Greeting Harry

Since one cannot buy these feathers/springs in Germany, I get which of a friend made.:ciao:
 
I been looking at mine again and found another drawing of a no30...ive just noticed the different style of strikers,,could that account for my spring been different to yours

I know! But are special preparations fit with springs!!! Cost per Stck= 9,82. - with decrease of 50 pieces. Is too expensive me. Make are cheaper.
 
The striker on the no28 was a blunt striker and on the No30 it was pointed see sectioned examples,
The spring on the No28 is conical where as the No30 it would just be a normal spiral spring.

All springs of my No. 30s are in conical shape.

Hello! That does not have anything thereby to do whether it for a Perkusionsdetonator or a Friktionsdetonator was. The original feathers/springs are conical whether for 28 - 30 - etc. Property pictures a few of my 28 still made. Harry

Thats interesting because ive just stripped several No30 in my collection and the springs are all conical , there must be some manufacturing leeway. the problem the material is so thin it dissentergrates in pistols found nowadays
 
.

Hello Fuzeman! The firing pin in the Schnittmodel No.30 is not original! This-belonged into a No.65 Mk I. these has 2 teiligen firing pins. Harry
 
Hi alan yes it looks as though they have used the wrong striker in the drawing , ive checked the Bible Ie British bomb and Rocket Pistols and fuzes plus Ap1661 Picture from AP1661
