This fuze was liberated from a fuze factory after the war

Hi Fuzeman, how was it fitted to the item of ordnance it was supposed to detonate as there is no thread for locating it in a Bomb/Shell or is it a "Taper" fit ?
 
Hi Chris
This item was in the process of being manufactured ? thats the reason its not been finished

Steve
 
Thanks for the pictures

Fuzeman

Have you seen the other one i posted on the modified fuze ?
 
Hi looks as though that fuze had been either dug up or blown from a bomb any information on it ?
Fuzeman
 
I would hazard a guess that this one is a dig-up judging by the way that crud is embedded and the corrosion patterns.

Great photos btw!

cheers

hello

We have it from a long time and we don't know where it's coming from.
 
Give it a good soak and wipe over with penetrating oil and i bet it will come up lovely!B)

Hello


Without any answer from you, I cleaned it with a sweet brush on an electric motor. Next week, I'll post here the fuze.

But I'll remain you use only good oil.

Thx,
Pascal
 
Pascal,im always busy up to something so its always best to drop a PM if i forget to answer a thread.I hope the fuze turned out ok?
Use some thin oil to clean it and post some pictures please.

Hello

This is the cleaned fuze.

Look the second pic : a small stone is "inlay" the fuze.
