Hi, In attachment a 3,7cm fuze , only marking is the WaA. Is this an active fuze or dummy fuze ? as the top is closed. And if any of you know, what type is this?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Is it a Ersatzstück though? It has fitting for a zdlg , not entschärft or anything. Just a WaA
 
The internal thread is for a Duplex detonator (Sprengkapsel). This is initiated by the impact of a needle.
There needs to be a hole in the bottom center.
I could imagine a 3,7 cm Kpf. Z. Zerl. P.v without the impact mechanism with only the SD feature for test purpouses, but without an X-ray or disassembly it is impossible to determine.

If you are not sure, if it is live or not, local EOD will be glad to assist you :)
