Hi all,
I got this fuze from Europe.
The total length is 130mm, the largest dia. is 64mm, the thread dia. is 38mm
The fuze is marked with " 2-M " on the body and rings, and has a "11" in a circle marking. Thats all on markings.
The graduations are from 0, 1 - 30 in 1 step increments.
Could this be Russian or Czech maybe for export??
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes very similar and I would like to add just a beautiful piece. You have to be proud to have snagged that one....Dano
 
Hello Guys,
No, this is not a T-7 at all. The thread dia. doesn't match, and there is a small rim around the outer diameter of the unknown fuze, like some Czech fuzes have, to fit probably only one type of projectile, which must have a groove, where the rim of the fuze match.
Maybe the 11 in a circle would be an indicator, but the only one I know of would be Bulgarian, but I have no proof for this either

Bulgaria used double circles as a country indicator. Bulgaria also did not use much brass on fuzes after 1945.
 
Yes I know the double circle , but the number is the only once I know of from Bulgaria. It would be very unusual for a Russian fuze with this markings. but maybe I am totally lost with this! I think the fuze was made between or during WW I or early WW II or in-between, I don't think it was made after WW II at all.

So if definately not after WWII (I agree) how could be the 11 in a circle then Bulagrian when they started using the WAPA code system only in the late 1940's? So Bulgaria is out.
