Zt.Z.S/30 Fg1

I just thought i would share a new purchase of mine.

My understanding is this worked on centrifugal forces rather than a clock spring for motive power like on the Zt.Z.S/30.
was this the more common one used or was it the Zt.Z.S/30 for the 88mm?

here are the photos.

Both the Zt,Z.S30 and the Zt.ZS30 Fg were common. I do not know the ratio in which these were made, but I think it's not far from 50/50.
Fg stands for Fliehgewicht , meaning centrifugal weight
 
Thats pretty cool to know.

Junghans made this fuze which is interesting since they still make fuzes today.
