Another little purchase along with the 25 is this fairly straight

Elaz 26 impact fuse.

Again Thanks to Waff for helping me with this as it is a nice
Early example with little needing doing to it.

The (26) was used in the KC250 + KC500 Flam bombs and was a special fuze which incorperated a air pressure swich this switch is located in the lower 1/2 of the case looks like a thin disc.
