Hello all,
Could anyone here tell me if the KZ11 fuze as used on German universal 77mm shells was used on any other types of 77mm shell or whether this fuze was specifically designed just for use on that shell.
I know it has a triple action, with its G & S settings, but would it be way off to suggest this fuze might have been used on 77mm gas shells or was it not suitable for that type of projectile?
The book I have on German fuzes suggests the Universal shell became obsolete in 1916, but did the fuze go the same way? It suggests the KZ11 was improved in terms of range graduations, but no more info......
Reason I ask is I have a German long 77 gas shell, but no fuze, except a KZ11, and would like to know if the two are compatible.
Many thanks in advance for any info!
