Hello,

here are two german time fuzes with the same graduation. One has 3 discs and the other only two.
In your opinion, witch one is the Zeitznder S/29 for the 8 cm FLAK ?

If your fuze with two rings has no impact mechanism (so it is a time fuze) both fuzes can have the name "Zeitznder S/29" as this would be the normal Krupp designation. But the S/29 for the 8 cm FLAK shells is the one on the right side with three rings.
