I got this one the other day after a long complicated series of swaps, well worth it though.
Its an M130 time fuze for the M83 butterfly bomb.
This fuze is the equivalent of the 67 fuze on the German SD2 butterfly bomb.
All INERT etc.
Dave.

All the other ones.

Here it is lined up with its friends:tinysmile_hmm_t2:
From left to right:

M129 (this is the American version of the German 41 fuze)
T48 (expt M130)
M130 (this is the American version of the German 67 fuze)
T49 (Expt M131) (This is the Amercan version of the German 70 fuze)
T49 E1
T49 E2

All INERT etc.

I'm still looking for an M47 (The experimental M129) and an M131 (service version of the experimental T49) so if anyone has one spare please let me know.

Thanks.

Dave.
