Attached are a few photos of an Oerlikon SAPHE round. All inert and unfortunately the fuze is missing but you get the general idea.
Has anyone got a sectioned one they can show that gives a good idea of what the fuze would look like?

Dave.

Dave,

Nice bullet!

I think I saw DJ Harms heading out to the shop with a hacksaw.
 
Thanks John.
I've just got a feeling he's already got one, lets hope so, I'd like to know what it should look like.
Dave.
 
Dave, just for contrast I've sent you a pic of a sectioned based-fuze Oerlikon 35mm proj, which has a thinner nose and a lot more HE.
