Hello,
I assume Krupp design fuzes.
The first is graduated to 29 (seems to be made of zamac and aluminium).
German ww1 Ztz s/29 I know is different.

The second is graduated to 34 (same general shape as Italian M12, British S35, etc).

The other german ww1 graduated to 29 you mean is the one usually found on 7,7cm leuchtgeschoss I assume?

think the one you show in the picture (left) is the Zeitzünder , not sure if that one is also used on 7,7 but I’m pretty sure this one is mentioned for the 8cm

attached some other images of both german ww1 fuzes graduated to 29 & also the italian one.

Thanks for pictures.
Yes, so Italian M12 for the right.
It's the first time I see the left one graduated to 29 (different shape as the Ztzs/29 known on 7.7cm ill.).
A time fuze was mentioned for 8cm and 8.8cm flak (ww1), I have only this diagram, no details on graduations (Ztzs/24 is mentioned but we think it's a mistake).

By the looks of it , if you zoom in on the numbers , it looks like they do go up to 29 on the drawing too.
