Fresh in from my new contact. :) and from an old pal here at BOCN. :)

A variety of fuzes plus some more mystery bits!
Here we have an example of 25C,28A and a restorable 28 in brass.
I have the spare pins and collars for this and shall have a go at restoration this coming week.
Been looking for a 25C for a while now and then there is this beauty of a 28A by my fave manufacturer(and year).
I did a little sacrilegious act by removing a tad of paint from the fuze boss but it does show the quality lettering.,its going on the shelf tonight with the other 28's!!
This brass 28 is a rare bird ive been looking for a long time,should look good when sorted.
Note the struck out '5' to denote a rework to a 28 slight delay fuze(anti-shipping/bunker busting etc).
Anyone any ideas on some of the mysterious internals shown amongst the fuzes in pic one?



cheers
