Possible 245 fuze?

[jvollenberg]

Any ideas on this fuze? It is listed as a British Mine fuze. Possible 245 MK 2?

Any information?

Thanks ...

I am wondering how someone came up with landmine fuze for this?

Well ... at least we have some good images of the item.

Do you know the difference between the MK I and the MK II?

Do you know the difference between the MK I and the MK II?

Joe

The Mark IA differed from the Mark I by a modification to the arming bolt and cover
The Mark II had slight change to the contour of the cover
The Mark III had a modified detonator holder.

That is one exceptionally rare fuze . I know many people who would , metaphorically , give their right arm for it !

Thanks everyone ...

Does anyone have images of the other versions?
