Once again chaps i am going to pick your brains?
I am led to believe that this is from a sea-mine of sorts?
To me it looks like something from a lamp-post,but hey!,i may be wrong!:laugh:

Close up of the markings.
I cant find a waffenamt stamp(i have seen one other example with it though).
Im told that this one is for kriegsmarine(hence `M`) and the Luftwaffe ones carried an `L`(which i also have seen one)

any help please?:)

cheers

Has anyone got a reference picture of one of these fuzes or the mine it was attached to please?:)

maesurements (in Inches please) would be handy..

However i think it's an Arming Clock type UES 1 or 2
 
Excellent AD!

the fuze is 41/2 inches in diameter.
def ww2 german then?,plus what does UES stand for please?

TIA

Nice one!,
my only concern was the lack of a waffenamt stamp.
I have seen another example with an `L` instead of my one with `M`.
I saw one other which had the waff stamp on the metal ring where the other writing is.
Ive just give mine a light once over with very fine wire-wool and wd40 but cant find the stamp.:(

cheers

waff
 
why is that stamp so important to you?

It does not make this particular piece of
munition technique less interesting..
 
It proves to me that its indeed wartime german.Thats all i try to collect.:)
plus im a big fan of those little eagles hence my screen-name!
cheers

Wow!,that looks the same as my one but without the plexi-glass cover.
It looks like the one my pal traded at the Beltring show.

I paid 80 for my one.:)

cheers for the link mate.

I see the seller has dropped the price to 195.

i just emailed him to say its a 100 too much.
whats the guess he/she tells me to shove off??:laugh:
