Regretfully it is quite impossible to get one. After two severe accidents with the mine it was taken out of service as being 'unreliable'. All mines, including practice mines , training / cutaway models were destroyed. The only surviving cutaway model I know of is with the Dutch EOD collection.
 
Hallo pzgr40,
could you, or somebody else, please post a technical drawing of the fuze of this dutch mine, so one can understand its function and understand the reason of why this fuze was so dangerous to set. If my memory does not fail me, this fuze contains a belleville spring system. Thanking you in advance for your consideration, I remain with kind regards,
Bellifortis.

Thank you for posting the drawings. Would you be so nice as to also post the legends corresponding to the No.ed parts. I also have a question: Is it right to assume, that if the fuze has fired, the pressure piece No.45 will descend also and stay in that position, so that the safety bolt No. 42 is not able to enter the groove in part No45 (safety position) and that for this reason the arming lever on top can not be turned back to the safety position in a fired fuze ? Is the pressure piece No.45 attached by any means to the belleville spring (No.46) or is it free floating ?
Regards,
Bellifortis.
