German (38)SI

[Fuzeman]

The 38Si fuze was produced in 1942 to be used in the SC250 kg bomb being used for anti submarine use .
it superceeded the usual (38) fuze Sorry that the paint covers the markings

 

[Fuzeman]

As you can see the only variation on the two fuzes is the markings SI The paint on these fuzes appear to be thicker than the usual fuzes .

The two fuzes side by side lh normal (38)Rh side the (38)SI

Hi Everyone tried about a dozen shots to show the markings,but the paint is much thicker on this fuze than the normal ones , for some unknown reason! this fuze came from a box of Liberated fuzes found in a factory after liberation , in Germany 1945

Hi paul
I always wondered if it had been repainted but i truly believe it to be genuine paint.

Hello fuzeman


This is also usual El AZ 38, but turn side 90.

We have an electronic X-ray device, so the pictures are automaticly display on computer. It's better but more heavy to bring.
