Fuze n°1.

[JulienCD68]

Hello,
Here is a fuze discovered on the French/German battlefield 1914-1918.

An idea ?









Thanks you.

Remants of Gr.Z. C/82 Kp with the gaine (zündvorrichtung)

The sheath of the GrZ82 fuze has a thread diameter of 25mm, right?
Moreover, here only the steel cap would protrude, it's weird isn't it?

If you have photos of explanations, I am interested.

En français pour mieux se comprendre.
Ici le capuchon en acier est au ras de la gaine. La totalité de la fusée est dans cette matière.




Une Grz 82 Kp aurait dépassé d'une autre manière non ?

Cdlt.

The shape of the cap does not seem to match.

You see only the top of the steel cap, the fuze is inserted in the large steel gaine c/88.
The brass part on the bottom in you diagram is a gaine c/80 so, this gaine is not used if the fuze is inserted in the large gaine.
Go to Deminest 27 for details.
Try to write in English as this forum is international. I'm sure this post could be useful for other members.

Thank you. I will consult the n°27.
