I've been sent these photographs of a possible German depth charge mechanism.
Does anyone have any further information please?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hello,

Several fuzes for depth charges are shown in manuals, often with same external shape.
Herewith picture of one example of German "Wasserbombenzünder". Internal mechanism is similar to yours.

Regards
