    French fuze 24/31 & 24/40,5 info needed

    I have 2 type of french fuzes, but
    First, I can not identify. It looks very similar to the 24/31 model 1914, but there are differences.
    On the second 24/40,5 can not find any information.

    If you mean the two aluminium fuzes the are belgium fuzes for the DBT "mortar" projectiles. Have a look over here.

    Hello

    I agree with Doctor's informations.

    On the 24/31 fuzes, on your pictures, we can see it miss the internal mechanism.

    It seems the last schneider fuzes are for 3 inches russian shells, same mechanism like the Schneider 1916 fuze.
