Question over marks in french fuzes
- Thread starter no3nh4
- Start date
Hi all,
The first fuze on the left is the EC1 fuse manufactured by Schneider for export. The second fuze is manufactured by the Saint-Chamond company, for export too. It is equal to the Belgian S/18 and the Mexican Mondragon.
I think that the Saint-Chamond fuze was sent to Spain to participate in a competition for the adoption of a regulation fuze, together with several 7.5cm caliber artillery pieces. The cannons were bought, but the fuse was not. The fuse that was chosen was the German Krupp 17 "model 1896.
Both fuzes are in a Museum of Spain, specifically in the Museum of Military History of Cartagena.
Greeting
