Hi to all who might be interested. I admit that it needs discussion outside
the e-stand - sorry for posting inside the e-stand !

Bringing in Lexpev's site is the best idea you have had as it clearly shows who is wrong or right.
As I previously wrote, your fuzes are not the Brennzünder Ei39 but the Zündschnuranzünder39,
not suitable for egg39.

Here at this link you can clearly see the CORRECT B.Z.E. 39 for egg39:

Here are your fuzes - the Zündschnuranzünder 39 :

Your fuze, like shown in post #6, is protruding from the grenade-body as it cannot be screwed inside completely.
I'm sure that I'm well educated concerning eggs39 - don't need a lesson in these !
Cheers,

You are absolutely right.

the fuzes for sale are Zündschnuranzünder 39, which was not used for Handgrenades since it has no delay.

Green head means: no delay.

learn and listen !

Hello,

thanks a lot for your reply and comments Zünder !
I tried to give a friendly hint but strangely this wasn't accepted at all.
Grubhy was really upset & didn't want to hear the truth.
He wanted to give me a lesson from high above !
He wrote :

"Secondly take some time and start learn...For good start...."
"Thirdly :Soon You will find that fuses used for booby traps described by You never came with green colour caps.
‘Additionally’ I guess that You should spent some time with period pictures or real M39 eggs to get some practice, especially in getting proportion between fuse and grenade body"

Well, well, WHO has to learn here ?!

Thanks again and Kind Regards,

Owi

Jepp...you are right, they are not for the egg39 or M43...definitifly not!!!
You can also use them as fuze for the smoke can 39

[Grubhy]

OK ! - You guys have right. You both have right. Now I can see the difference between these two types. I bought them as ‘ inert’ so I thought that this longer pipe was simply cut in order to inert fuse and attain easier access to explosive material.

These were utilized with eggs, in special sort of implementation but still. I think that it makes these fuses ever rarer and more desirable...

Employment: This igniter is primarily used for the ignition of safety fuze in demolition work. Also, it is to ignite smoke candles, to booby trap Tellermines and grenades, and to set off improvised mines and booby traps.


Fuses, grenades and other stuff are not my field of collecting , lesson learnt. Thank You, but how You, Owi, can said that You wanted to give friendly input. For my this ... Hehehehe. Maybe these are just culture disparities, nothing really offensive for my still it is not proper manner. ( What is more we both know that your post form yesterday on for sale section was a bit modified by You recently...)


Zunder thanks a lot You for your email form yesterday.

PS.Question: Does this sort of fuse could be utilize with NbK 39, lot harder to find than M39 egg ? Thanks in advance for reply!

manners

Hello Robert,
thanks a lot for your reply.
Yes, your fuzes can be used with the Nebelkerze - no problem.
I'm sorry if you felt offenced - I used the & after my own sentence " If yours were used on the handgrenade it would go up immediately " as a joke. Not meant evil though in this context.

my input in post #8 was not modified - otherwise it would be shown as
"last edited".

Your fuzes are not very common, not easy to find in this condition but the egg39 B.Z.E. 39 have become very, very rare in good shape.

Have a nice time collecting,

Kind Regards,
Owi

[Grubhy]

Thanks. Same to You!

fuzes

Hi,
I have just one of these fuzes in mint condition with a brass tube fitting which is obviously to take a safety fuze.
If these are the same as mine there is one difference which must be deliberate (for identification in the dark?) - the green cap has a LEFT-HAND thread.
Any one else agree?
Regards,
Grossfuss

brass

Hi Grossfuss,
sorry but I don't quite understand what you mean by your description of your fuze.
Could you perhaps add a picture of it ?
Is the border of the fuze's head corrugated perhaps ?

Thanks in advance for your reply, always interested in seeing something new.

Best Regards,

Ferdinand

brass fittings

Do you perhaps mean these brass "extensions" ?
It is the connection tube to the "wick", the "Zündschnur",

fuzes

Hi Ferdinand W,
Yes, that's the part I meant, it's in two pieces, the inner one has 4 tongues which grip the end of the safety fuze.
The cap is the same shape as yours in dark green but to unscrew it you turn it clockwise (left-handed thread) whereas on an egg grenade fuze you unscrew the blue cap anti-clockwise.
Best regards,
Grossfuss

Hello again Ferdinand W,
Here are a couple of pics of my fuze - I see there are three tongues on the inner tube, not four.
