Today a rather nice parcel arrived from Germany.

This is a joint venture between myself and waff.

contained within are six Elaz 17A fuses and 2 Dischargers.

six of the fuses are in very nice condition with some ink stamps remaining
on the bottom of the clock cases,and a fair bit of original paint.

Hi Phil,

Very nice collection of 17's you have there, well done mate!!

What were the dischargers used for? (was these used by armourers on returning aircraft with bombs, or by bomb disposal teams in Germany)

whatever very nice pieces, are they rare?

regards Kev
 
:tongue: Epic topic title mate!! :xd:

Thank you very much Phil on brokering this deal as ive been more than a tad busy of late..
What stunners they are my friend!
We have more to come buddy,hang in there.... ;)

Im off out on a date shortly so i will have to drool over these little beauties after drooling over hers...

Thanks Kev

There was six fuses plus a crusty one for free :wink: again a 17

which i shall post next as i can only upload 5 images:tinysmile_cry_t4:

The Dischargers were the German armourers tool for rendering fuses safe
that i could only guess at (from Hung up bombs perhaps)

I suspect they were all manufactured within spitting distance as mine have
the same batch numbers aswell.

nice to see a batch together.
