I am looking for a M111A2 fuze.
Any help in tracking down a M111A2 fuze we can use for reproduction will be greatly appreciated.
I have seen several postings of members having the M111A2 fuze and contacted the posters to learn the fuzes have been traded off over the years.
I would appreciate being able to beg, borrow, buy, or even lease one of the M111A2 fuzes so we can draw the parts in CAD for reproduction.
We cannot find any and need several for a project we are working.
I am part of a group restoring a B-25 to flying condition.
Here is our facebook page and web sight.

We are located in Brighton Michigan USA.
I live in Greenville, Ohio USA
The 488th Aircraft we are memorializing was shot down on March 20,1945 while part of the flak suppression flight to bomb the Campo North Railroad bridge in Italy.
8Z was carrying Chaff and M47A1 phosphorus bombs set to burst in the air using modified M111A2 fuzes.
The intent is to have on display the bomb load 8Z carried while on her final flight.
8Z was hit by flak and the crew bailed out to be captured and several tortured with three of the crew executed by the Gestapo.
I can go into more detail if asked.
If this post should go into another forum topic please move rather than delete and notify me.
Any help in finding a M111A2 fuze for our project would be appreciated.
We are also looking for a M47A1 bomb casing to reproduce as they seem to be as rare as the M111A2 fuzes....
Thanks
Ron
