It seems, that nobody here has ever seen this fuze in any collection. I'm surprised, because there should be many in allied countries. This fuze is the result of nearly 20 years of german research for an electric AA fuze and every army in the world was interested in it at the time, spending a lots of money for intelligence. Many reports were written at the time. 10's of thousands must have been produced and the parts were so much standardised already that other models of el. artillery fuzes used parts of the El.Zt.Z. S/30 There is a very nice article about this fuze written in TM-9-1985-3 or OP 1666 Vol.2 on pages 605-607. The fuze is also pictured there with its most distuingishing "feeler wire" for the muzzle charger. If this fuze should ever show up anywhere, I would be most grateful for a tip-off. Thank you in advance for keeping your eyes open. By the way, what happened with these thousands of items that were taken to the US, GB, Fr and RU. They are only of historical interest and have no technical value anymore. Does anyone here have an answer ? Is there any museum that displays these items nowadays ?
