Hello everybody, can someone supply me with info and pictures of the anvil in this system, who suppose to hit the 12 gauge blank in the bottom of the grenadebody.

It has been mentioned on here before. Basically you pull the pin release the lever, striker hits the cap sets off timed delayed det that fires a firing pin into the 12bore blank. Most CRG 42 fuze assembly's have had the bottoms cut off that turn up on the market. Bit of a long winded way to fire a 12 bore blank and expensive no doubt.
