Hello

This is the german 24cm shell s.Fl.M (as know as Trench Bomb). The second picture is a cutaway of its fuze
Do you know this fuze, and its name ?


Thanks

Here some drawings of the fuze, the german document state it as unkown and the french document also states no name I think ( my French is terible, so I cant't read it).
Regards Blu.

Thank you BLU97.

Yes, it seems a "noname" fuze : the translation mean "Fuze for tailed heavy bomb"

(for me, my english language is poor ! ;-) )
 
Pascal,
Percussion fuze came in two types-with and without delay. Fuzes with delay painted brown and designated Fl.M.Z.m.V.
