Small fuze ID

[Burney Davis]

I picked this up at the weekend having not seen one before. OAL circa 65mm, maximum diameter circa 35mm. Looks German/Belgian in some details. Any help in identifying would be appreciated.

Hello,

it's a Prussian "Doppelzündschraube C/85" with the steel cap missing. A part of a "Doppelzünder C/85" is also present and it's covering the thead of the Doppelzündschraube.

It was soon replaced by the "Doppelzündschraube C/86" as seen here: https://www.bocn.co.uk/threads/fuze-cap-reproduction.103430/post-317902
But sorry the steel caps aren't the same.

I saw lot of Doppz C/85 with Doppzschraube C/86

Many thanks to both.

Never had the slightest clue they had two different Doppzschraube variants for these. Very interesting!
