its a rough old bird from the top......

Im going to post another overall shot of the fuze as the first one was blurred.

 

[waffenamt]

And the 3 letter makers mark.I assume this was the maker of the electric part and not the whole fuze?

cheers

Thank you MB,i thought you may like this one!B)
Spott,i will have to pen-oil the screws and then attempt to remove them.I dont really want to break this one so it may stay as is.
