Hello,
I am looking for some more info on the TMO fuze.
It was used in Poland with 82 and 120 mm ILLUM mortars.
There are at least 3 versions that differ by the material of the top part.

Thanks, Bob.

I saw remnants ot the same fuze in a spanish civil war collection.
Is it a variant of russian OM-82 ?

IMHO it is a Polish post war adaptation. 118 is code for Polish ammunition factory. The graduation of 165 is the same as on the OM-82.

Hi MINENAZ16
It's not exactly standard "TMO", but there is something to bounce back from :)
 
A small addition :
The TMO fuse was also available in the Czechoslovak Army in 1958 (it was looking for a job for it in 1958). Documents from this year have been preserved describing the possibility of using a fuse in various types of ammunition. So far, I have assumed that this is a purely Polish matter - it is not a mistake.
