Grenade and Mine fuses?

[RobertE]

I just picked up this group of fuses from an estate of a WWII EOD tech. Looks like some egg grenade types in there - but what the heck is the rest? Is there a good research link I can dig into?

I appreciate the help - regards, Robert

The copper one, center left and the black plastic pieces (the 2 on the right side) come from a detonator of a german anti personel tripmine.
Then theres the eggrenadepieces.
The one in the middle right is also anti personel , cant tell you wich.

This poster should help

Thanks very much for the identification, fellows. The chart is very useful, as was the specific information, Philipson.

regards, Robert

The copperpart with the ring was attached to the black bakelite piece by a thick wire. (missing here) There should be a stamp in the copper.
A thin wire would be attached to the ring and strung to a fixed object.
Used to ignite a boobytrap/fixed personel mine.

That poster is a keeper by the way!

The round one is the tmiz 35 , pressure igniter. Is also on the poster i think.

And one little correction: the anz 29 could also be used to make a boobytrap out of a tellermine, not just antipersonel.
Also used to ignite smoke grenades, but then directly and without the use of the bakelite pieces.

The buff coloured igniter is a Hebelzunder used in the glass mines, not shown in the chart, the pin is missing, looks like its to the right of your photo on its own.
For more info on igniters try the BOCN forum.

a.ll seem to be dated and coded, but hard to read

[RobertE]

some of these I couldn't finds in refs, but I believe some could be foreign? As an EOD tech, the veteran could have run across anything -

code -

[RobertE]

non-magnetic; I guess for shu or glass mines

[RobertE]

others - I like the codings with the backward "R" like on grenades
