Unknown German Fuze

HONORED MEMBER RIP
Need some help on this yet unidentified item, please :tinysmile_shy_t:

This one is -unfortunately?- not mine, so I don't have any additional info, just these three pictures.

A very interesting item, that I also have never seen before. From the type I think that it is a mine-fuze. Most probably a developmental item. I'm also looking very much forward to any additional info on this most interesting fuze. Thanks for showing.
Bellifortis.
 
Well, not much response on this request yet.

Meanwhile I've got my hand's on the item and made an x-ray.

It seems to be a simple pressure fuze similar to DZ 35 A or DZ B.
Housing Alu, weight ca.45gr., fits very well on a T.Mine 35.

Most likely a possible successor for the old T.Mi.Z.35 (consisting of 400 gr. brass each).
An attempt to save the valuable brass?
However, it was never introduced ... why?
