I recently obtained a mint condition, out of the original crate, Mark XXIV depth bomb fuze (It is now inert). Only problem is I cannot find any reference to it. Neither can our EOD Center or anyone else I have contacted. It is WWII vintage and marked: BOMB FUZE MK XXIV - 1 LOT 7-B J.H.F YS&L Co. 1941 204. It is a transverse fuze and very heavy solid brass. Each piece is secured to the bomb by bolts that are included in the container along with brand new copper arming wire clips. The thing that initially caught my eye was the galvanized shipping container. It has a marking on it that I have never seen officially placed on any U.S. ordnance during the war. The general markings are "HIGH EXPLOSIVE KEEP FIRE AWAY. HANDLE CAREFULLY. 1 BOMB FUZE MK 24/BELLVILLE LOADED 1942. LOT No. 7-13 J.J.O.D." and "ASSEMBLED FOR 50 FT DEPTH". In the same style and color stencil that shows that information on the can are the words "LET'S SINK THE RISING SUN", which I thought was highly unusual. Does anyone have a reference to this fuze?
