Fuze ID requested...

[ogreve]

Hi,

I just acquired the two fuzes shown in the attached pictures. The left hand side one is easy; it's a Japanese Type 91 or Type 0 Navy MT fuze (and that one alone was already reason for me to buy them).
The other one is unknown to me, however. It does not look Japanese to me, and I was wondering if someone recognises it.
If necessary, I can give good guesstimates of the dimensions of the unknown fuze, by basing it on the dimensions I can get from a similar T91/T0 fuze I have at home, and using that for roughly indicating what the size of the other fuze must be.

Thanks in advance, and cheers,
Olafo

It is an M52 Mortar fuze of U.S. design or a derivation thereof. There are a number of threads here on BOCN about variations of it.

Hi John,

Thanks; that was quick!

If this fuze is of particular interest to anyone, please let me know...
I myself am only into Japanese (and ancient Chinese) ammo, so it could be traded/sold.

Cheers,
Olafo

PS: it's presently still in the USA, so if someone from the USA wants it, it's best to let me know before I have it shipped to Europe.
