Fuze HZ 14 - HZ14 Fb - HZ14 Vorst. German WW1 fuzes
percussion 57.5mm fuze-detonator, without delay for light howitzers
The HZ 14 is an impressive fuze of a heavy weight when found in battlefields as they are made entirely of brass.
The models that followed the first one (HZ 14 introduced in 1914) used a centrifugal force arming system (HZ14 Fb or HZ14 Votst. Fliehb.) as well as a safety pin (HZ14 Vorst. Fliehb.)
Equipped with a 55gr. acid picric detonator it was used with explosive or gaz shells of
90mm K 73/88 guns
100mm K97, K04, K14 guns
120mm sK 12cm heavy guns
150mm IFH 98/09 light howitzers
