Dopp Z92 FH

Incredible the info you kind find on the internet... lol
Found on Passion & Compassion web site.
fuse Dopp Z 92.
Double effect 45 mm fuse, without delay, Model 1892
Double effect fuse, this model was an evolution of the Dopp Z 91, based on the same principles, therefore having a classic percussion system in the tail and a rotating discs time system in the upper cone.
The lower disc, mobile, was engraved with graduations from 1 to 29 seconds, and a roman cross for the pure impact percussion function.
Entirely made of brass, it had a security pin blocking the concutor of the time system. The same specific arming system of the percussion device (with a powder grain in spite of the classical German stem system).
Different marks have been produced :
That fuse mostly equipped the projectiles of the :
Double effect 45 mm fuse, without delay model 1892, new shape
The inner mechanism of this Dopp Z92 nF fuse is strictly identical to the famous Dopp Z92 fuse (here above), as this appears evidently on the scheme. The only differnec between the two fuses is the shape, more round, and the material (either all brass or aluminium plus brass).
The lower disc (that disappered on the showed item) was graduated from 2 to 41 seconds, and with a special mark for the pure percussion functionning.
This fuse was mostly equipping the projectiles of the :

Thanks Richard, I appreciate that. Always nice to know there's another of one of my favorite fuzes to seek. Will PM you later about discs....Dano

There were more that a couple of variations Drew. In fact yours is different than any of mine. One could make one fine collection of just the Dopp Z92 variations. The Dopp Z92 was used on many shells in different configurations, yet still one of my favorite as there are obviously a few variations I need also. WW1 German fuzes rock....Dano

Recovered Dopp Z 92 FH
Here is a photo of a Dopp Z 92 FH which I have recentley spent about 10 hours cutting from a battlefield recovered HE shell fragment. Slightly damaged the threads during removal but quite happy with it.
