Picture shows the early German Brass No(5 )fuze on left manufactured at Rheinmetalls Somerda plant , it was found that the delay was too long so the 5 was stamped out and restruck as a (28) the delay being ideal for use against ships , this delay allowed the bomb to explode below deck

Brass fuzes
Hi Paul
The German ELAZc50(5) fuzes were produced in 1936 and were quickly found to have too long a delay , they were then restamped (28)
See RH fuzes in picture
These early ones are amongst the rarest fuzes , the last one sold on ebay for £120 , about 3 years ago .
Cheers
