Tony Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 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.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensF. Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensF. Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thats the tube of the detonator. It should be empty, or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
