!I have just taken delivery of this very nice cutaway mechanical time fuze that I think could possibly be Russian in origin. it has no markings other than those to set the fuze length. Interestingly the Tommy bar through the nose cone issued to set the time in a manner similar to the Swiss 206 fuze used by the British with AA guns. The Tommy bar appears to be fixed, but is longer than the diameter of the fuze, so I think it's just been secured to illustrate the method of setting the fuze. If anyone has any ideas or information relating to this fuze, I would really appreciate your input - thank You

Thank you very much to all of you who have posted diagrams and pictures. This is very useful and is very much appreciated. There are many similarities to my Tavaro fuze. In all the diagrams the nose cone is different to mine. Mine has a nose cone very similar to the British 206 made by Tavaro. All I have to do now is try to find out which country Tavaro made them for, or were they built under license in another country like one of the diagrams shown above?!
Hi, in your pamphlet although no designation is given, does it say which country used them and on what calibre AA gun etc? The example you have shown has a very similar nose cone to mine and whilst the others listed in this thread are very similar, the nose cones are quite different.
