German m1914 grenade fuze

[paul the grenade]

Hi Guys.
I have this mint fuze for the german m1914 rifle grenade and thought i would share some pics with you of one of the most complex gren fuzes i have. The gain has some holes in it that should have some sort of safety fork in them to keep the fuze in a safe condition during transit.
does anyone have any pics of what it should look like? For a detailed discription of how it functions have a look at Ed's page. http://inert-ord.net/rod02h/ger1914/index.html
cheers, Paul.

Here's one -

One of the Lads with one, postcard on ebay, note the rifle stands for firing rifle grenades

And another one, this card is sold

ebay post card. It seems about the last thing ebay is any good for are these fine WW1 German postcards, excellent research material. The sellers name is on the card in red, I recommend watching his listings.

Hi, Paul the grenade.

Blender is better, but more difficult to learn.

This is what you can do with anim8tor : [ame="http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=Jplu7uqRxYc"]BA 247[/ame] (hum, in fact, I imagine you can easily make better than me !).

The film has no noise, because it was in french, and I delete it : I can heardly write in english, but it's worse when I speak ;-)

I forget the screenshots.
