Turkish 75mm

[Andysarmoury]

Hi I have this unfired Turkish 75mm projectile (INERT) it looks as if the top part of the fuze is missing, has anybody got any info on what type of fuze it is and any drawings would be great as i would like to get the missing part or make it if possible,
thanks in advance
Andy

I have managed to remove the top it seem it was once a lamp and the top cap drilled out and the bottom of the shell also, so am looking for a top if anybody have a spare

Hello,

I assume it's a fuze made by Krupp. Sorry no diagram.

Ask this guy !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCLUFZVn4Ek

Yes i have seen that, my fuze is the same, made by Krupp, just need a top or i could try and braze it up and mill it in the lathe.
Cheers

Yes it is made by Krupp. These are the cases which you should look for:

The cap has some arabic numbers and letters on top which should be very difficult to reproduce...

I already have the case its the same as in that post and dated 1916 but it has a hole drilled in the bottom side, so the whole thing must have been turned into a lamp at some point,

Nice job Andy, it only took you 30 years!

 

[Andysarmoury]

You must not rush these things Adrian :wink:

 

[tankbarrell]

That's true. Of course, the fact that I borrowed it for 29 years could not have helped.....

 

[Andysarmoury]

Well that could have something to do with it :tinysmile_grin_t:and thanks for letting me have it back.
Cheers

Nice to see it complete now The colouring is well done.

 

[Andysarmoury]

Do anybody know if there was any stenciling on the projectile,
Cheers
