Hello Yoda,

Do you have a diagram ? I assume this fuze is filled with a pyrotechnic charge.
ASM is a Belgian manufacture ?



Thanks.

Cheers

practice does not necessarily mean its safe many "practice" items have spotting charges etc or other pyrotechnics ,,,,Drill items contain none
 
This fuze is used with the mine ATM6 PRAC CRAC. Practice anti-tank mine M6 (USA) used in CRAC exercice (CRAC for Combat Rapproch Anti Char).
The mine contain a bag of approx 250g black powder, so, when the tank is passing on the mine, the black powder make a big white smoke, indicate that the mine has functionning.
The fuze M63BG (BG for belgium) contain a priming cap and a little flash composition load (all two visible on your pics of the fuze).

Again, take care, your fuze is live !
