Hi Lads,
Here is one my pal Mick got yesterday.Im sure he says its from a SA bomb for Airburst use?
Im sure my pal Bernhard will like this one?;)
The camera batteries ran out before more pics but you can see the 20mm round im asking about in the projectiles forum.

Hi Paul
I think its a Russian fuze

Hi Steve,
How do come to that conclusion please old chap?.:tinysmile_shy_t:
There isnt one russki word or symbol anywhere on the body as far as i saw?
I can double check and ring my pal if you want though?

Waff, it is THE SAME fuze on the forum that you found. I bought it off Rrickoshae a while ago and sold it to Steve McGregor on Saturday. Mick got it off him at the same show (Bisley). Its a small world isn't it!
