Hello everyone. I need a little help please. Does anyone have any info/pictures on the L 81 fuze ? I have read the info given by Gunnerwho and it is extremely helpful but I would like to see just what this fuse looks like. I have 2 105mm Illum projectiles. One for the Fd, an L43 with a wide driving band and the other for the Howitzer with a narrower band. Did you say this was an L55 Gunnerwho ? If anyone knows where I could find some of these fuzes I would be eternally grateful. Thanks in advance.
