Bomb fuze

[pzgr40]

Who can tell me what type of bomb fuze this is? And als has a - cutaway- drawing?
My guess is French or German just post WW1
Thanks in advance,

It's a german bomb fuze for PUW 12kg but it's the first time I see this fuze with a suspension lug on top (?)

Hi, idem for the suspension lug. Is it possible to withdraw it ?

According to the Popiel, the Polish 12.5kg PuW copy, the bomba odlamkowa 12.5kg could be suspended vertically, with a nose fuze looking as the one shown on this photograph.
Drawing b) show the "ears" (clips?) 10 for installing such a vertical suspension
However I have never seen any photograph of such a suspension in situ

Hi kz11gr, we tried, but the parts are tight after appr 80 to 100 years oxidation, and we do not want to damage it more than nessicery. From the bottom inwards however we can see three weights -spring loaded- that are swung outward by the rotation of the bomb

in a way this suspension lug reminds me to the ones on he AZ10 (H.u.T.). Maybe this is points in the right direction?

Hi there, Do you have this " popiel" document and are you willing to share this. I can't seem to find this information.

The "Popiel" is a book considered as the most extensive work on Polish interwar air armament:
Adam Popiel: Uzbrojenie lotnictwa polskiego 1918-1939. Warszawa: Wydawnictwo SIGMA NOT, 1991. ISBN 83-85001-37-9.
I was lucky to find a second hand copy some years ago. It is not scanned.
Conerning the specific subject of the post there is not much more in the text that what I wrote and uploaded.
