I would like to ID this very heavy base fuze. I was told it may be Hungarian?
It weighs 2kg. 200mm long. 56mm threads 10tpi (2.5mm). 51mm gain diameter. There are 5 balls inside the fuze.

The stamped marking to the left of the 15, isn't that a Skoda mark?
 
OK so it seems Czech. Which projectile/cal is it used in ? What exactly is that SKODA mark in a circle ? This is the heaviest fuze I have. Thank you all.Ron.
 
M28 Fuze

In The German Manual H.Dv. 481/60 from 1940 about the 30.5 cm Morser (t) is some information about the M28 Fuze.
Attached a phot thanks to Loslau. Maybe Nabob will come up with some more info.

Regards,

Chris

As far as I know also Czech 15cm and 21cm AP mine shells.
I'm sure member Akon could help.

Chris, I am sure you meant 481/160 !
I found a lot 481/xxx online, but not this one...

YES, it is a ,,Ostré zapalovací ústrojí vz.28. The company name of the fuze has evolved in the order of first.. (take it with a grain of salt) the fuze was D next DZ, then it was DVZ and later replaced by DVZR. (it also has numbers for example 56, 58,62 etc. So the full company name of the fuze is, for example: DVZR 58. Your object produced in 1933 at Škoda's factories in Pilsen. As you can notice, there is no so-called gravitational delay with the fuze (therefore, even the shell does not have a template on the bottom of how to time it into the cartridge chamber by rotating it...)
-15cm to 42 cm ammo.

In 1928 (FA. Skoda) there was already gravity control of the fuze timing. (DVZ 56)

Another example: The Ostré dnové zapalovací ústrojí vz.25 ,,
