Identification assistance

[US-Subs]

I picked up some curious pieces recently, as I slowly get them sorted I will have many questions on identification. Here are a couple to begin - A German toolbox, Google can translate "Spare Parts and Tools", but I doubt that they are for "Explosive Grab B". A little help?
Second is the remains of a training board, German? And for what? There are the remains of several cut-off detonators along the bottom edge...
Then there is a US device, possibly CAD or pyro related, but believed to be aircraft related.
Finally (for now) are a couple of what appear to be mine fuzing or control units, Eastern Bloc. These could be fakes/copies/training clones as the font/paint/markings used are similar to that used by some commercial marketers.

In the past there were several topics on this forum about subject #1. Search for Sprenggreifer.

Designed mainly for use in anti-moored sea mine sweeps, intended to snag on and cut the mooring cable.

In this case, Spreng Greifer B more or less translates to 'Explosive Grapple' [type] 'B'.

The word in photo 148 means "inert" in Russian.

So, maybe it was equipment from the East German Navy.

It's designed entirely for cutting anchorwires of moored minesystems... The proper english term for "Sprenggreifer" is "Explosive cutter".

While waiting on any input on the other items, here is another. Identified as Polish, believed to have something to do with mines or mine training. ZKW-1. Any information?

This one appears to be some sort of tree mount, presumably for pyrotechnics? More details and origin would be helpful.

IMG_0188 and IMG_0189 would seem to be VG-24 (RU: ВГ-24) electrically-fired igniters, which are known to be used on the S-24 (RU: С-24) series of Soviet-era-developed air-to-ground 240 mm rockets.

Hello Eggburt1969,
IMG-0188 and IMG-0189 show the firing contact (1) used to ignite the VG-24 igniter. The firing contact consists of a body with a contact (2), a PP-9RSD pyrotechnic cartridge (3), a spring (4) and an extension (5). The VG-24 igniter is used to ignite the powder charge of the rocket motor and contains 240 g of black powder of the KZDP-1 type.

Very nice images and diagrams, but ultimately I'm aware that the VG-24 contains a pyro-igniter. This as the company I work for have worked on the demilling of S-24 series rockets.

The translation of the text from Czech to English is as follows:
The VG-24 primer (Fig. 12) is used to ignite the powder charge of a rocket motor. The primer charge consists of a specified amount of coarse-grained black powder (KDZP No. 1). The primer consists of a body and caps. The cap is closed to the casing rim by pressing. The joint between the casing body and the cap is sealed with varnish.


The source of information is the Czech military prescription "Aircraft unguided rocket S-24B".Technical description and preparation. I also personally participated in the dismantling of the rocket.

More fuzes and/or components for ID. Sorry, #286 is out of order.

0295 looks swedish m/36...ish. See https://digitaltmuseum.se/search?q=m/36+grk&mode=text

Hi Jeff,

0296 is the German AZ 41.

Hello
The image

A few more fuzes. On 0316 they appear identical but for the threaded opening on the face.
A question that I know I've asked before, is there a guide anywhere on the different models of the typical French projectile fuzes and their many copies by other countries - for the Mle 1935 type designs?

 

[Burney Davis]

0297/8 looks like the top part of the Obus Explosive Mle 1916/18 GABA projectile, assuming that there are screws in the side.

0313, 0315 : French fuze "24/31 Peuch-Remondy Mle 1916 (P.R.)"
0318 : French fuze "FUSEE DETONATEUR PERCUTANTE DE 24/31 T.C.A.L. Mle 1926, LEFEVRE"
