Yes, a nice items.
I personally would like to have something like this but I am always hesitating to buy something like this as the G7 torpedoes were used long time after the war by several navies.
Does this piece shown here comes with a "provenance" ? How can I be "sure" that I will get a wartime piece ? Markings ?

torpedo fuse
Christian,
For me the real question is: did they used WW2 german made torpedo fuses after the war, or did they started up their own national production? I don't know the answer but what I do know is that some NATO navies fired WW2 german made 9 mm bullets until the late 70-ties and 100 shell fuses even until the year 2000!

Housing for a Pi2 it seems (judging by the switches and test-plug for the magnetic part)Originally posted by Sir Sinkalot View PostLatest addition...Comment

I have never heard about no one producing parts for the german torpedoes after the war, besides the odd small parts (like plugs, springs, gaskets and some replacement tools).Originally posted by compressore View Post
Yes, of course: Original german pistols were used all through the torpedoes operational life post war.Originally posted by glaser View Post
The last user being the Norwegian Navy: The G7a(TI) torpedo were used by the shore-torpedobatteries of the Coastal Artillery until 1999. The torpedo itself was modified with wire-guidance in the late 1960's, but the warheads and pistols didn't change, besides replacing the explosive charge with more modern and safer material.Comment
