I have had this fuze for a while and had thought that it it is a variation of the Dutch [FONT=&amp]Tijdschokbuis Nº 8. It is made of aluminium and graduated from 2 - 35, whereas the No 8 is made of brass and graduated to 98 I believe. Does anyone have any paperwork on this model or confirm what it is?[/FONT][FONT=&amp]

Thanks as always.

All these 35 sek. fuze are made by Krupp for export. I have the same in brass. I have seen a belgian shrapnell with this fuze last year. Calibre was around 95-105mm.
 
Many thanks Alpini. Would that mean that the Tijdschokbuis Nº 8 was also Krupp made and exported for Dutch use?
 
yes, at least Krupp designed. But theses early fuzes I think were also Krupp made.
