Hello,
I got this fuze probably 2 years ago. This is the 2nd one I have seen with identical markings. The internal construction is identical to the "kl.AZ 23 umg" PD fuze, used by the Germans during WW II. The strange thing is the nomenclature which is " 7,5cm w.FK ". There are no other markings at all, except the delay adjustment marked with mV - oV. I would guess it is very German like. Largest dia. = 43mm (identical to kl.AZ23 series), but the thread dia. is 31,5mm which is over 1mm smaller than on the kl.AZ 23 fuzes. The only projectile, this fuze fits perfectly, is a strange German Navy 105mm HE-projectile, dated 1941 (pic attached).
Does anybody has an idea? or documents of it???
Thanks
