MK 7 Antitank Mines (UK)

[jvollenberg]

I am looking for fuze information on this landmine ... I noticed under the mine it has No. 5 MK 1 (which I am guessing is the fuze)

Does anyone have any infomation on these fuzes and images of them?

Thanks,

Joe,

There is no mention in 'Land Service Fuzes - 1962' of a No. 5 fuze, either as a current or obsolete fuze. Another publication I have 'Regulations for Army Ordnance Service, Ammunition Pamphlet 15 - Mines, Part 2, Section 2' Does have three photos, two of the mine with the fuze (which appears to all intent and purposes to be the same as the No. 4 fuze and a photo of a box containing No. 7 mines and No.5 fuzes.

Regards

Tim
