Hello all,
An hour ago I unpacked this fuze, I got probably 25 years ago and I totally forgot about it:
The fuze body and safety cap are made of steel, the tip assembly and booster are made of brass.
The booster is similar to an US booster, however with an aluminum booster cup height of 15mm (instead of the US 20mm height)
The impact mechanism is located in the brass tip assembly. The flash travels through a central flash hole to the detonator in the booster assembly.
The only safety feature in the fuze body is a centrifugal bolt, which locks the central flash channel when the fuze is not fired. Due to rotational force, this bolt can move outwards against its spring pressure.
Here are the dimensions:
Total length with booster assembly: 126mm
Brass tip body dia.: 18mm
Largest body diameter: 61mm
Fuze thread dia.: 43mm
booster thread dia.: 50.5mm
safety cap dia.: 29mm, safety cap height: 26.5mm
Does anybody knows this fuze??
