Unknown German Fuze

[jvollenberg]

Keeping up with the items from the Former Aberdeen Ordnance Museum ...

This is listed as German:

Dia: 60MM
Length: 64MM
Exposed: 44MM

Any ideas?

This is a Krupp mechanical time fuze from WW1. This one here does not look like the standard adopted type. Maybe a development stage. Alpini will be the right one to ask.

German Dopp. Z. 08 almost looks like your

At least the clockwork is from Krupp. I am still unsure if the whole fuze is made by Krupp.

@Joe: Could it be some letters in the area surrounded by the red line:

It is 716 ... see the following image ... Joe

 

[Alpini]

thank you Joe, I thought these are letters...

But when looking at the other numbers (seconds) I am now sure that the whole fuze is Krupp made. The digits have the typical Krupp font-style which I have never seen on other fuzes.

Thanks ... There are going to be some interesting fuzes and items as I go through the pictures. Some of them are going to be experimental. I am posting them not only so I can identify them but so others can see them as well.

this one is much interesting and most likely experimental!

Hi

now the Aberdeen museum is gone, guns and tanks have been sent to other US museums. Does anybody know where the ordnance has gone ?

Thanks

Spread out to other museums or locked up in a warehouse.

Hello,

I think it's the same fuze on this experimantal US AA 105mm.
