Unknown German Fuze

[Guns1418]

And to add to the mistery, Aluminium was rarely used with this kind of fuze...

Bump this old thread.
Lot of questions without answers because it's a booby trap fuze (Langzeitzünder). Look a the star on top.

You have good eyes and an even better memory! Yes it is.

More characteristics are that it no screws on the side of the fuze body for centrifugal weights and no milled slots for a needle on the bottom piece. Both parts are just "round".

British document SS780 might be of interest. I don't think it has been posted elsewhere.

Hello,
If I may, I vote for U
Could someone post a photo of a Z.s.u.m.W.M. from 1918 for comparison, please?
There are photos of the fuze here: http://www.passioncompassion1418.com but the "font" is different.
