Jeff,

There is a photo of a two-stage mechanical fuze in the top of the GB rocket warhead. Do you have any idea what the physical size is of that fuze? I can see a T number for the fuze. Can you read the T number from your photos?

Most of the double and triple timer fuzes I've seen were T 2000 series, I'll check tonight but I don't think that there is a better picture in the file. Got to see if I can get to work this morning - not sure yet how much snow we got or are getting.
 
John,

Try - Fuze, Rocket Mechanical Time, Model No. MT M421 (Federal Stock Number 1340-724-8165) formerly known as Fuze, Rocket: T207E1

Looks close, here is a quick Photoshop of the tag from the photo above. May be a later E modification as there seems to be more after the 207 - ?

Maybe yes. But I am not sure if the L3,3 existed during WW1 and the shell from the photo is from 1916 made by Krupp in Magdeburg. On the photo it looks like it has a small fuze thread, maybe US-Subs has one more photo?

Click to expand...

Checked, no better picture of the fuze is available. As a side note, did you notice the 16-inch cut-away as a size comparison beside the warhead?
 
Thank you for the fuze fotos, that's a hard one... It looks like a fuze for universal shells (Granatschrapnell) with two separated ignition channels.

I don't know many countries which were using this type of fuze key. One of them are the USA but it does not look like a US fuze. The only other country I know (this has nothing to say) with this type of fuze key is Norway. Maybe a type of a Quisling fuze?
