German ww1 shell with ekz 17 fuse

1

18pounder

Guest
Hello to all,
has anyone got any images of the gas shell with Ekz fuse?

Ive taken the plunge,and stripped of the suspicious looking paint and found some filler.
It looks rather naked now.
I was informed by family it did have a glass bottle inside,but had been accidentally smashed.

The diagrams ive seen are all abit garish,and is difficult to see the colours properly.
Please could you assist and I will post a step by step renovation.

Thanks alot
18mpounder

Glass bottle

Siegfreid had some of these bottles- I saw a number up for sale a year or so back, contact him on Specialist Auctions and maybe he can find you one.
