John B's recent post looking for early fuze images reminded me of some photos I took a while back -
I visited a European museum a while back, looking for early chemical weapons and submunitions to photograph. They were kind enough to give me full access to their storage area, and while there I witnessed a large collection of early fuzes (sorry John, as far as I can tell, none that early). The majority were Austrian, but many other countries were represented as well. Time was limited, but I rushed through taking images of about 50 of their fuze boards, the first of which are shown here.
If there is interest by members and time permits, I will dig out more pictures and post later on.
