I would like to know the meaning of the markings and colors As I know there aren’t any 🧨 explosive,(no detonator). Therefore I decided to pick them up !

I won‘t pick up anything dangerous. Anything that is not 100% sure of safety must be considered dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy soil preserves pretty well as my practice is. These German ElAZ fuzes are actually part of a big finding. It was intentionally buried ! These were the only safe things, so I dared to take them with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major General Waffenamt Posted August 31, 2021 Major General Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hi Madis,its a type 15 impact fuze. Yours is with its transport cap. The later versions did not carry as much info. If you gently prise it off,you should see that the batch number(15b) will match the number next to the charging pins.

Madis Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Didn’t fit well yet, locking ring inner part is a bit rusty, but I think after little cleaning it fits (lack of time 😟) 🙂 Edited August 31, 2021 by Madis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madis Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 So if anyone is interested about locking rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Waffenamt Posted September 1, 2021 Major General Share Posted September 1, 2021 Best to put in derusting solution. It’s the inner ring you have, The outer have threads on them to lock into the fuze pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
