French and polish fuzes? Ww2? Identification...

[John8]

Hi someone knows what kind of fuzes these are?

I guess a French (ww2 ?) and a Polish (?) ww2 (?).

The second fuze is a Czech Skoda design. VG-CR or VG-SKR

Hello,

First (2 pictures) : it's not a fuze but an adapter for burster (gaine) with a transit plug.
Same as French gaine 36.1/47.5 model 1897 but Polish made (marking wz for wzor = model)

This one comes from a lot from only ww1 items actually (all dug up in france) all German en British, but I guess this one is French?
And because I couldn't find it on the passioncompassion1418 website... I thought maybe ww2.
Any information (country, period, based on model, etc.) would be helpfull.

Regards

did you read what Nabob wrote?

I do read, but I do not understand. (I thought it was about the polish gaine)

So it is Czech, not wat I was expecting...

I see there is a thread about these fuzes http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/91453-Czech-fuze-MG-CR

VG-CR � large time and impact fuze for HE shells with C impact mechanism, and detonator safety
VG-SKR � large time and impact fuze for HE shells with SK impact mechanism, and detonator safety

Thank you guys, I will have to start digging, google isn't very helpfull for this :tinysmile_cry_t:

Thank you guys, sorry for my misunderstanding.

What i'm interested in the most, is maybe to obvious for the specialists here.
- This is used by the Germans?
- This is ww2 or ww1?
- What calibers was this used for? 105 mm?

Hi John,
the VG-CR and VG-SKR were designed before WW2. Used on 7,65mm up to 105mm.
The czech ammunition was used by the Germans and it was manufactured during the war.
Up to 1941 ammunition with these fuzes was exported and sometimes reused by the Germans again.
For example captured Yugoslavian fuze Ч 28 OC (Yugoslavian designation of VG-SKR) was Dopp Z 466 (j).

As far as I know Hitlers order "Rüstung 1942" said (among other things) that the captured material shall be used on the static defenses in the west.
