These fuzes later during the war were intended for use with stick grenade mod. 1943 too; so the wings there were turned up.
The wings are there to enbale the fuse to be screwed into the grenade. same on both M39 eier and Stielhandgranate M43, Regards nick

hi ,look at this grenade ,new in my collection
Dano:
I think there were three(3) versions of the Bz.E39 fuse:
1. with no wing nut
2. with turned up wing nut
3. with turned down wing nut
There was a post war(East German, etc.) turned very
up wing nut and the top colored cap had a flat spot
rather than the fully rounded type the German WWII
had.
