2 new German WW1 fuzes

[dano1917]

Here are two German WW1 fuzes that came in the post today that were part of a trade deal. They are fresh out of the ground from Verdun. I'm debating on whether or not to even clean them as that is original dirt. The first, I think is a GRZ04 or GRZ04/14 and the second is a 1915 dated HZ 14. Dano

light cleaning

I decided to follov Dave's advice and just gave them a light cleaning around the logo area. Cleaning of left fuze revealed Gr Z 04 and a '14 date, and the other fuze the HZ 14 and '15 date came out plain as day. I'm still deciding on whether or not to clean them further, but my wheel went down so I have a little time to think about it. Dano
