Unknown German Fuse type....

Hi All,

I'm trying to ID a German fuse - the markings do not match any of my information on WW1 & WW2 fuse, which is mainly artillery focus.

I'm thinking it could be a naval related bomb fuse or an aerial bomb one (the stamp looks like a "propeller)

Markings:

"Sp F 175 " on brass body

"D" on nose

"C" "B" "A" on body

All thoughts welcome on vintage and function.
Thanks
Cheers
Drew
(Yes I did google "Sp F" etc)

Kz11 / Harry,

Gentlemen, thank you very much for the information!!!

The fuse in the link that Kz11 provided was all brass, whereas the one shown is composite of both brass and alloy - which I would say be late WW1 when Germany was starting to run low on resources.

Ho Humm, I better go and buy some more "study" books! :tinysmile_cry_t:
Cheers

Hi Drew,

There's at least 1 other of these fuzes in Australia!
Thanks to your thread I have been able to identify this nice fuze for Ron.
We think the "17" on this one is for 1917. The cap is a nice accessory.

Cheers, Graeme
