Is it true that the different coloured fuse pull-caps represented the different time delays?
i have a yellow one and a blue one on my egg grenade.

Picked up the AT mine from Belgium, was a good find
The different colour pull caps on all igniters were for identification of the time delays as follows:
Red : 1 sec
Blue : 4.5 sec
Yellow : 7 sec
White : 10 sec
Hope the info helps.

Welcome aboard Bernhard.
An excellent find indeed, you must be very pleased with it
.
I have seen a few before but not near as good condition and they went for hundreds.
Is the paintwork and markings all original?
Regards
