    Adaptor with type 41 fuze

    Got this last week in a good deal and ive decided to upgrade it a tad.
    It originally came with a 41 top attached so i carefully peeled it away and installed a full 41 with a gaine attached.The blades turn nice and bonny and now wind in the fuze.
    I cant wait to locate a 10.5 projectile for it!

    cheers

    Did this weapon have a designated name/number series to it when all complete with the projectile?
    All i know is that it was used as ariel bombs?

    cheers

    Hi Paul
    Glad it arrived safely i was slightly concerned that with the back log of mail it might be delayed , I believe there was a designation for the adaptor will have a hunt through the papers for you.

    Hi Paul
    It looks Ok but you need a (41)A fuze as it designed to take a bayonet fitting
