L.Zt.Z. 67 rescue

[spotter]

I was kindly given a very relic L.Zt.Z. 67 fuze by a fellow bocn member. Used in the German SD 2 butterfly bombs i wasnt really sure if i could do anything with it but after finally getting it to pieces and a good cleaning and a couple of minor parts having to be remade ,tiny screws that hold the main spring cover on and a "decorative" mainspring to sit in place of the original which was in 100s of pieces as you will see in the photos i think its come out ok , the fuze body was very rotted so i cut out the rotted parts which also helps as a cutaway,
Regards
Allan

Amazing, really, from what you started with. If you you don't mind a question from a tyro- how did you deal with the corrosion on the steel bits? Some chemical process or sandpaper and elbow grease?
