I will show my WWI fuzes in another post but I have to make photos !
Here is another old timed fuze : 25/38 model 1880 wich, probably, was never used during the great war. It has been replaced by the model 1880/1885. The hitting system is same as the "Budin" fuze. This is not a factory produced cutaway and the quality is significantly worse.
Thank you all for your messages.
For those who understand french, I had made, a few years ago, a small study about this box. You can see it at this adress :
Mr Budin (Lieutnant) was a french officier at the Pyrotechnic school of Bourges (France). He had tested differents systems for differents fuzes. But it's possible that Russians had used this system (wich is very simple).
I don't have Hotchkiss projectiles, so, I can't compare.
