Hello
I think it’s a 100mm fuze for 100mm XM28 or HM28.
Looks a VG-SKR or VG-CR anyone could help me in right ID?

Best regards

I think It's VG-CR it is going to 196 s and the VG-SKR goes to 50 s

As I learned from Nabob, VG-CR and VG-SKR have same scale (marking 190). MG-C and MG-SKR have a shorter time.

Maybe Nabob could help : as I understand MG-C, MG-R and MG-SKR have graduations from 7 to 225 (with max graduation marked 220) for 45 or 50 seconds max time.

Fert,
So I think you have Czech Skoda VG-CR or VG-SKR for Jugoslavia (typical markings).
Herewith german (DoppZ 428 j) designation for the 8cm fuze (similar markings).

Hello,
the fuze was manufactured in 1929. IMHO it is a ČM 28 VG fuze.
Note that the fuze has no detonator safety (so no R in the name of the fuze).
The SK designation of the impact mechanism is Skoda factory mechanism. In the Czechoslovak army it was called fuze vz. 28.
I believe the VG is a Skoda designation. The C mechanism came later so there was no need to differentiate between C and SK in the fuze name.
This fuze was used in 75 and 100 mm grenades. I do not know if the time setting ring was the same for both calibers.

thank you Bob waiting for you
for what I see jugo fuzes quote the gun for they refer to.
ГР 100 the fuze in this topic, wich also has a 100 on top of the impact section.
ГР 80П observed in 80mm M28 (posted in this topic by MINENAZ16)
ГР 105 observed in base fuze for the 105mm M36 (10.5cm Vz 35)

all the best
 
Hello, thanks :)
in Czech pre war nomenclature the fuze name was derived from the projectile.
It is the same here GR in cyrilics would be for grenade.
Attached is a picture of a Shrapnel fuze marked Sh r, caliber 75mm (Note a special impact mechanism)
Best Regards, Bob
