Seeking pictures of WWI German aerial bomb fuzes...

Hello Gentlemen,

Does anyone have examples of World War One German aerial bomb fuzes in their collection that they can share some nice pictures of? I am doing a Powerpoint presentation on WWII Bomb Disposal and German Fuzes, and would like to have some images to show of WWI mechanical fuzes as a comparison to the electric fuzes used in WWII.

I tried searching the forum for WWI German Bomb Fuzes, but nothing came up.

Thank you in advance!

John
 
Here is the wind vane and propellor from a Karbonit bomb, as usually carried and dropped in the UK by Zeppelin.
Probably from one of the large 50kg examples. This particular item came from Southampton, very near to Portsmouth, and was probably dropped in the local area.
