Hello


Dopp.Z.S/43 and Dopp.Z.S/43 Sp, the shape is different, and perharps usage is different ?

Really, I don't know because I don't have any doc on the "Sp" model, just the useful informations from Doctor

 

[doctor]

Hi
Sp is for "Spitz"
This fuze is not O.A.Z.
The german 15 cm shells used by french Navy are not used for D.C.A

Dopp Z S 43

From the Notes on German Fuzes (Second addition) Jan 1918
it lists the Dopp Z S 43 but without the Sp the time mechanism is the same 43 seconds, but the shape is different.

Hi
Sp stamped on Dopp z 92 is not the same as "Doop z s 43 Sp"

 

[Burney Davis]

The Sp on the Dopp Z92 is the mark for the Spandau arsenal in Berlin, Germany.

But "Spitz" as says Doctor , seems a solid answer.
