Brass mine fuze

[waffenamt]

Hi Chaps,
I was having a clear out of junk,drawers,cupboards yesterday and out dropped this fellow!
I know its a german ww2 mine fuze made by Richard Rincker but the question is how come its 'extra long' compared to normal S-mine fuzes?
Its fully inert,you can see the spent det down the tube.
cheers

Hy Waffenamt,
This is a ZuZZ35 fuze because of this longer than the ZZ35.

Hi Paul
Has it got any warning on the side , it was found to be too dangerous to use as a tention/pull igniter so they were modified for pull only ,

Hi Paul,

this is the modified type of the ZuZZ 35 igniter (for pull only). Or do you see a trip-wire slot? Not all of this modified fuses show the stamping "NUR ZUGZNDER" (pull-ignition only).
