    Unknown Fuze

    Sorting out my hard drive this morning and came across this fuze.
    Any ideas on the country of origin?

    Hi pete, I have seem markings like 105-24 on ammunition on German ammunition and fuzes exported to Afghanistan before the second world war. I think 105 is for the caliber of the gun.
    Atached is a picture om a 81 mm rheinmetal mortar bomb produced for Afghanistan here you see that typical marking as 81-15.

    yes, your memory works well :-) I remembered the same fuzes, but they have a different graduation on the rings and not sure if fuzes for Turkey of that time would have latin letters.
