The whole Z.Z.35-family:

from top to bottom

Z.u.Z.Z.35 (pull & tension release; most difficult to handle),

Z.u.Z.Z.35 umg. (amended; originally pull & tension release, but reduced to pull, due too much accidents),

Z.Z.35 (pull release).

Its nice to see the two versions of zu.zz.35.. Very nice examples. thank you for sharing.
I beleive the reworked zu.zz.35 version opperated by pulling the saftey pin out via a trip wire much like zz42.
I can imagine the original version would be tricky to use safely.

I have a number of these fuses missing their locking pins/balls. Does any one know what size they are?

The locking balls are very small about 1mm, i will check and see as i have the above set.

I need to get my hands on the others so I can X-ray them. I keep missing them everytime I find them on an auction.

I have a variety of sizes and good quantity of detent balls. Very common thing to lose in the gun fixin' biz. Will keep an eye on this post for size/specs and check what I have on hand. When determined, I'll get some to you.

Rick i will be happy to buy them off you.
But depending on where in the world you are it may be cheaper for me to source locally in NZ.
However things still can be a problem to find here.

I'm in the U.S. As small as they are, they'd "ship" in an envelope.
Here's what the set looks like:
1.6mm - 6.3mm
