A very interesting item, that I also have never seen before. From the type I think that it is a mine-fuze. Most probably a developmental item. I'm also looking very much forward to any additional info on this most interesting fuze. Thanks for showing.

Hello,
There is an old thread from october 2002 on wk2ammo, link for registered users : http://www.wk2ammo.com/showthread.php?217-Unbekannte-Zünder&highlight=hasag
about the same fuze. It was not identified there too.
Regards,
S.

Well, not much response on this request yet.
Meanwhile I've got my hand's on the item and made an x-ray.
It seems to be a simple pressure fuze similar to DZ 35 A or DZ B.
Housing Alu, weight ca.45gr., fits very well on a T.Mine 35.
Most likely a possible successor for the old T.Mi.Z.35 (consisting of 400 gr. brass each).
An attempt to save the valuable brass?
However, it was never introduced ... why?
