[waffenamt]

Hi Lads,
Here is one my pal Mick got yesterday.Im sure he says its from a SA bomb for Airburst use?
Im sure my pal Bernhard will like this one?
The camera batteries ran out before more pics but you can see the 20mm round im asking about in the projectiles forum.

Hi Paul its a nice looking fuze

Hi Paul
I think its a Russian fuze

Hi Steve,
How do come to that conclusion please old chap?.:tinysmile_shy_t:
There isnt one russki word or symbol anywhere on the body as far as i saw?
I can double check and ring my pal if you want though?

Waff, it is THE SAME fuze on the forum that you found. I bought it off Rrickoshae a while ago and sold it to Steve McGregor on Saturday. Mick got it off him at the same show (Bisley). Its a small world isn't it!
