Send to myself via my boss (Colin King of many mine and other EOD-related publications) from a fuze and munitions collector in the US.
Markings seen include: pressed-in Latin script AOG-69, which could be its designation, or something like a factory code and year of production; a white triangle; and a white script and a punch-marked 'INERT'.
It has an upper assembly 'similar' to the MVZ-62 (МВЗ-62), but the lower area would seem to be from the MVZ-57 (МВЗ-57) and sized for the fuze well of the TM-57 (ТМ-57) anti-tank blast mine. So overall a bit like an MVZ-57, but an outer shell, arming button, and safety pin like the MVZ-62.
At a guess something from a former Warsaw Pact country, but that is just a guess. Any ideas of its country of origin, its history, its designation, and its usage would be appreciated by my boss and the US collector.
