French & Belgian Fuzes for I.D.

[Depotman]

Some of these are similar to 'known' items, but I would like definitive I.D. if possible? Depotman.

Hello,

-1 : french artillery fuze Schneider model 1915 for 105mm and 120mm HE.
-2 : french artillery fuze Schneider model ESC98 (export)
-3 : french artillery fuze 25-38mm model 1875 Budin sytem
-4 : krupp design. Fuzes with similar design were used by Belgian, Spanish, Danish, etc..
I'm sure someone could identify it with markings "DINAMIET FABR". What is the graduation max ?

Regards

Thank-you very much for the info - I had never seen pictures of No. 1 before. No.2 is interesting because it was described as a "Boer Design" and a colleague has recently told me that some Schneider guns were sold to the Boers. No. 4 I believe that the graduation max is "10". Depotman

"Dinamiet Fabr." sounds very dutch. And the Netherlands had this Krupp fuze in service with the name "Tijdbuis No. 2 (N.I.L.)".

But there was also a belgian "Dinamiet Fabriek" in Arendonck and one in Modderfontein/Johannesburg/South Afrika...

The "Dinamiet Fabriek" refers to the Modderfotein explosives factory outside Johannesburg where shells and fuses were filled/assembled for the ZAR during the Boer War. Many of the brass components were made by Delfos Brothers in Pretoria. This time fuze was used on the 75mm Krupp QF gun of the ZAR. It was basically a copy of the Krupp supplied fuzes imported before the war.

The French percussion fuze is probably also a Boer war bring-back, belonging to the 75mm Creusot QF gun. Here is a similar one picked up at Ladysmith:
