Z.Z 42 worked by either by pull on the release Pin or by pressure pushing the release pin out eg as when employed in the schumine,
the Z.Z 35 is a pull igniter

Completely correct, thanks Allan.
ZZ 42 was a simple and cheap penny item,
ZZ 35 a costly fine mechanical brass part.
But there is another important difference the pull direction,
especially in connection with the S.Mi.35
ZZ 42 works only horizontally, ZZ 35 also vertically plus in different angles.

The ZZ42 exists in steel as well.
