Hi everybody, I found monday in the south of Belgium a little surprise for the collector's world : a german 15 cm Gr96 (WW1) with a AZ1 fuze (WW2). Sorry for the collectors, I transformed it on heat and light ! I have just 2 pics

1st April?

:tinysmile_eyebrow_tHi
I've a 15 cm Gr 96 fitted with Gr Z 96/04
Never seen with WW2 AZ1
I'm asking me with sort of gaine used under the fuze?
The threading eye of the 15 cmGR 96 is 45 mm (same for fuze GR Z 96/04)
How it's possible to fit a AZ1? (48 mm threading!)

This one is puzzling to me. I too am used to seeing this shell with the GrZ 96/04 fuze. It just don't make sense (as doctor said) that this fuze would even fit, unless of course someone "used the force". Could this be the shell of a Jedi Knight?? Dano
