76mm Fuze Info Needed

[darren]

Pictured below is the fuze that i am looking for info on, i believe it is a PD fuze for the 76mm Oto Melara Navel Shell? Please correct me if im wrong.

Stampings are: OP 76 mod.1 2-FBO-80

I am looking for diagrams of the internals, mainly the clockwork delay mechanism (in the last photo), also any other general info about this fuze.

Could you specify a country please.

Not sure to be honest, I will have to post a picture of the fuze that I have for a positive ID. Will post tomorrow when I'm back on my main computer. I believe that the fuze I have is for the 76mm Oto Melara Navel Round but wanted info just to make sure.

Thank you EOD for the information, that is great. Any idea what any of the other markings translate to? Date maybe?

Hello


In the worldfuze fuze identification, page 166, there is the OP76 Mod 1.

But nothing about the mechanism.

Thanks for the info Pascal, that is a little more info about it that I didn't know so that's great. I've searched the Internet high and low but there doesn't seem to be any info out there at all about these fuzes.

Sorry, I made a mistake.

The title is : "worldwide fuze identification", I'm sure you'll can found download it easily on the web.

1st row gives the designation.

Seems your's was made in 1980.
