S.Mi.Z. 35 (colour) variations

[bergler]

Recently I got a bunch of very nice SMiZ35 for the german Tellermine. They were all found in the same box. What puzzles me is the differences in the Colours of the different parts, even within one manufacturer and year. Nice to see those, and I want to share These.

I have 3 different manufacturers now, all dated 1944.

First is "fxl" and 4 (1944). I have 4 of them, with very obvious differences in Colour. All 4 with plastic crew-on protective caps.

second one is "fen 44". Different Colours as well, in this case it might be discolorisation. Thing plastic stick- on protective cap.

third one is "cky 44". Of this I have only one. All 3 Segments of the fuse very different in Colour.

That was it. Maybe you have some other exaples to Show. I like those fuses ;-)

Everything is normal. All are made of anodized aluminium. This the reason of this gold color.

I've never seen green ones before, only the plain silver or the anodized gold and brown versions. They both look nicer than the plain silver examples.
