I am looking for information on the AM-B impact submunition fuze. I am specifically looking for some pictures of it, and manufacturer markings.
Thanks,
Joe

Soviet submunition fuze

Joe,
Soviet manual talks next:
Все остальные взрыватели типа АМ устроены так же, как и АМ-А. Отличаются они габаритными размерами, диаметром резьбы, капсюлями, цветными полосами белого или фиолетового цвета и маркировкой.
Взрыватель АМ-Бб/в имеет колпачок без ветрянки. Для снятия с горловины корпуса колпачок сверху имеет специальную планку.
Колпачок снимался со взрывателя перед непосредственным вкладыванием авиабомбы в кассету.
It means next - fuze the same with AM-A, but only a bit another size. Exist and AM-Б б/в, like and AM-A б/в. б/в - без ветрянки or without detail #6 on picture below.
Here you go AM-A

Hi Joe,
the old rusty one is russian made in 1939 manufacturers code XB3 (CHVZ)
the better looking is czech made in 1954 manufacturers code avm - Novoborské strojírny Nový Bor (the arming vane on that one might be from an AM-A fuze)
The diagram is an old training poster.
Last pic is the difference between AM-A (large hole) and AM-B bottom screwes.
