What is it DUM-47?
The DUM-47 is a yugoslavian Mine fuze. The construction of it is very similar but it doesn't have the ring on it.
New update ... it is a pressure release ... when the wire is removed from around the item and the metal sides move outward (ever so slightly) then the lock balls move outward and the firing pin goes home.
Now to see if I can reset the thing.
Resetting the thing is pretty easy, the difficulty is the wrap around wire safety. This is impossible to place back around the item tight enough. I will post pictures of the item showing the lock-balls under the metal portion tomarrow.

It's another name of UPM-1 fuze, the older name.
Thought I would bump this thread ... still no idea on this firing device.
