Apart from junk mail ,And begging letters asking me to take out insurance was this interesting item, which i was told came from the test site at Reichlin, which when cleaned up looks interesting as the AZ13 nose fuze had been sharpened, for some reason!

Hi Ben
Yes it was on ebay,the nose had been sharpened in a factory , possibly for greater penetration ! it was brought back from Germany by the sellers friend, its unusual and a good talking piece , the tail and the missing top section was included , but wasnt shown.
A factory sectioned AZ(13) shown for comparison

Hi Paul
the picture was out of focus, i got the guy to send me some sharp images, its just dirt , no sign of corrosion, and ive allready got a buyer for it !
Had it been a bomb fuze with any corrosion then i wouldnt touch it either no matter how rare it was
