German Bombfuze Z 17 AM noZ 17 Bm

[Fusse2004]

Hello out there !!!! I present you my newest Fuze, it is a German bomb detonator Z 17 Am. with a running time of 2 - 72 hours. Not to be confused with the Z 17 Bm. which has a running time of 120 minutes. The optics of the 2 Fuze are exactly the same, only painted in the colors AM = green, Bm = dead. This Fuze was built into German aerial bombs, which then served as a booby trap. See image. This Fuze is super rare, even in this condition. Harry

Never heard of it. Is there any docs about it available online ?

look under Bomb Fuze under 17 Bm, because this Fuze was treated.

Hi @sgdbdr,
up till now I also never found any technical documentation about this fuze. It's a pure deferred demolition fuze. It has exactly the same setup as the Z 17 mB, only the movements differ a little. So, as @Fusse2004 said already, you should use the Z 17 mB description . They use "Thiel"-movements. The movements should be the same as in ELAZ 17 A and ELAZ 17 B. This fuze is only mentioned in Airforce manuals, no further description.

Hallo @Fusse2004,
du schreibst das der Z (17) Am grün und der Z (17) B rot (red) lackiert sind. Dein Modell ist rot lackiert (Luftwaffe Zeitzünder Farbe) aber Z (17) Am gestempelt. Ich habe ein absolut identisches Modell gesehen, das auf der obersten Abdeckscheibe 17 Bm eingestempelt hatte und auf dem Körper nur cpp 6 Y und der Abnahmestempel. Einen grün lackierten hat ja vor kurzer Zeit ein Mtglied hier eingestellt. Könnten die grün lackierten für den Armeegebrauch bestimmt gewesen sein ? Was meinst du dazu ?
