Wer kennt diesen Zünder?
Hab letztens diesen Zünder gefunden, war stark verrostet, deshalb ist kaum ein Stempel lesbar.
Der Zünder ist auf alle Fälle deutsch, da noch Teile eines WaA-Stempels zu erkennen sind.
Herstellermarkung lautet azb oder ozb.Die Sprengkapsel ist aus Kupfer und nicht gestempelt.
Länge: 119mm
Gewinde: 2.1 bzw 2.2 X 1,5 bzw. 2 (mm)

Bin dankbar für alle Informationen!

Your fuze is a German version of the 24/31 French fuze
RYG 18 (originally made in brass with the top in aluminium)
It's a noze fuze instananeous very sensitive used on a lot of type of French artillery shells and too on 81 mm French WGr.
It was probably made in a French factory under German control.

Best regards.

Tanks for information!

I searched in nearly every book I have. So you see, there`re always small lacks of knowledge. Would you please post a picture of the french original?

All the best, WaA 378!

Hallo, nicht nur die Deutschen haben den Zünder verwandt; auch die Amis verwendeten den RYG. Siehe angefügten Auszug aus dem "Middle East Trainings Pamphlet" (brauchen die das nicht bald wieder??)
Not only the Germans used that sort of fuze. Attached you see an excerpt from the british "Middle East Training Pamphlet" (which they maybe need again in the near future??), showing an US-made RYG-fuze, ans several others of similar construction.
All the best
