Does anyone have anything, especially pictures, of the MVZ 61 Mortar fuze? All I know is it is Swiss.

Joe,

As promised, here's the Swiss MVZ 61 fuze.
The information should be with me this afternoon as soon as it's been translated.

Cheers

Pete

The translation gave the following information:

This fuze is an instantaneous or delayed fuze for the 12cmmortar. Externally it is different from the MVZ55, but internally they are thesame, operating on the direct action principle. From the factory the fuze isdelivered set to the instantaneous setting, however by turning the setting ring90 degrees clockwise it will then be set to a 0.15 second delay.

Cheers

No problem. If you need pictures of any other Swiss fuzes let me know.

Cheers

Pete
