Fuzed German gas shells

[starshell]

Hello all,

Just a quick question: Would it be correct to fit a German HZ 14 Fb fuze to a First war Blue or Yellow cross gas shell (long version)?
I find a lot of references to EHZ 16, etc, but not a lot in the way of HZ14's.

Many thanks in advance!

According to this extract - used with a long gas shell with a "green cross":

 

[MINENAZ16]

Green cross : HZ14 - HZ14 Fb - EHZ17
Green cross 3 = Yellow cross 1 : EHZ17
Yellow cross : EHZ17
Blue cross : EHZ16 - HZ16 - EHZ17 (rare HZ05GR).

Any of you know what the Gr. Z. 14 stern o.Zdlg is used on? cap is steel , painted red.

Not same subject, Gr14 n/A was used on chemical shells 10cm, 13cm, 15cm (this post is about 10.5cm long).

Yeah, but was just wondering & thought I’d ask.

In attachment the fuze I initially asked the question for :

 

[MINENAZ16]

Ok, other subject.
Not common fuze, nice example in very good condition, "Grz14 Ohne Zundladung" (détonator removed).
As far as I know, this fuze is used with 15cm incendiary shell.
Red paint (and star or circle) stands for reinforced primer.
