Thanks for putting them together. Anybody have any idea why the cross piece and sight are at an angle to the axis of the warhead ?

excellent info. Here is it all together, for easy reference....

Hello,

The TSQ M77 seems to be different from the documentation. Is it a trial version ?

Regards

This one is a French Ste. Chamond export fuze. Used at least by Mexico "espoleta de doble efecto" for 75 mm Schneider-Canet field guns. Nice to see a real one.

 

[MINENAZ16]

In France we know this fuze as a product from the French Schneider firm (for export).

These markings read 60 long shell.

Cheers

Does it also say "illum"?

 

[peteblight]

No. But the last character can mean shell, projectile, mortar etc.

I believe it is documented as a Vietnamese piece, supposed to be HE. Pete are you getting a Chinese translation?

 

[peteblight]

Yes, finest Standard Chinese.

The characters are definitely Chinese

 

[US-Subs]

I wonder how many of the characters are shared, as you see often with Japanese ordnance.

 

[bdgreen]

Any relation?

 

[US-Subs]

First cousin at least.

 

[EOD]

No. But the last character can mean shell, projectile, mortar etc.

Pete

Well, I see only now that you meant the Chinese one and not the Israeli in the last batch.

 

[US-Subs]

Yes, this gets complicated on which photos we are referring to. Perhaps I should post less batches?
