No. 35 (aircraft flare fuze), how many marks ?

[sgdbdr]

Hi

I wonder how many marks are there for the no. 35 aircraft flare fuze. AP1661E (1945) describes the first 4.

I found a picture here : https://forum.guns.ru/forummessage/216/2590047.html

with a pretty clear Mk 11 :



Cheers,

Or were they just missing roman "I" letters and replaced them by "1"?

It's dated 1941, thus it has to be Mk II, we didn't start using Arabic numerals until late 1944. Alpini's explanation is more than likely the case (or a myopic stamper).
