Unknown WW1 Fuze

Hello,

Today I found the same fuze with a slightly different top ring on the very interesting website : http://digitaltmuseum.se
The swedish designation is m/1912 (Bottennedslagsrr m/1912 med detonator).
I noticed different markings on the fuze : one with O T V (like the one I found on a 15cm) and the other with U K F.

Regards

Hello,

OTV = german markings from Krupp

O = Ohne (Verzgerung)
T = Transport
V = Verzgerung

UKF are swedish markings, but I can't translate that one for "Transport":

U - utan (Frdrjning)
K - ?
F - Frdrjning

FUZE HEAVEN !

In the link suggested by MINENAZ16, try those keywords : gonblicksrr, nedslagsrr, tndrr, tidrr, spetstidanslagsrr... Unknown territory...

Have fun !
 
Hallo @MINENAZ16,
only just now I noticed the link you gave to the swedish digital museum. Thank you very much. This is the Best collection of 19th century fuses I have ever seen. Attached is a picture I found there, of the most beautiful piece of fuse equipment. A real gem. It's an all brass, precision burning time proofing instrument for a timefuse from around the 1850s. The first one I see. Just beautiful !
