Hi all its my first time using this site so I hope I do everything right.

Here's my question I have just bought a 7.5cm L24 kwk HE round 1943 dated and the fuse has three settings via a small screw which are M O V does anyone know what these are at all I assume one must be safe maybe.

Many thanks Darren
 
momentan null verzoegert

meaning direct, zero and delayed

PS it is allways a good custom to mention the type of fuze you are describing ;)
 
Sorry the fuse has loads of markings and while on some of my shells its easy to make out like my KZ40 on my 3.7cm flak c/30 this one has

myx KLAZ23 umg

Hope this helps Darren
