    French beehive fuze

    Recommended Posts

    Does anyone have a more complete picture or diagram of this well known French fuze?

    By more complete, I mean when the powder is burning its way around the fuze, it must finish off by igniting the detonator. So, I?m really asking for a diagram or photo of the same fuze with detonator.

    Thanks for any help.

    The one you have has got a detonator. Its the brass tube at its lower end. There is also a version of this fuse without detonator.

    Ahhhh.

    I also have another which isn't sectioned and was bought at a market in France, although I was told it was safe, I'd like to make sure. When I got home I unscrewed the cap at the bottom and saw a tube poking out.

    As I can't find the fuze at the moment, I've made an addition to the above photo showing where (from memory) the tube is.

    What is it?
