KZ 16 cmK fuze

Hi Dave my friend, One would be hard pressed to find a picture of one in better shape than yours, as years in the ground really cacked this little jewell. Great find.
1916 fuze for 10cm gun (German of course)
percussion fuze with a long percussion rod, that was blocked at rest by 2 centrifugal locks held by springs, that were expelled during the flight of the shell.
Used with HE shells
10cm model 1897, 1904, 1907, 1914, 1917 guns (10cmK.97, 04, 07, 14, 17)
10cm guns under shelled mounting (10cm.K.I.S.L.)
10cm guns under turret (10cm.T.K.verst.)
10cm short guns under turret (Kz.10cm.T.K.)
