[Rrickoshae]

Please see the attached photos of a German WW2 Bd.z.5103 base tracer fuze from a 5cm APC round. What purpose does the aluminium bit serve? Is it a transit cap? This bit can be taken apart as shown.

your thoughts as always please
many thanks Dave

Hi Rickoshae
You are risking your health ....
What you mean by : ,,aluminium bit serve? Is it a transit cap,, is detonator which consists of these two aluminum parts and other parts and other substances ....

Hi rigby
That's exactly what I wanted to put there - you beat me to it : )
Let's hope they understand it correctly ... and not that it's an incentive to further analyze ...
