Rake aboot 4,936 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 seems that H7 might make it German type maybe ! lol sure its a fuse now though. so it should be all mechanical inside, I`d still get it ID`d though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Take it to the cops............they'll have to evacuate, call the bomb squad and all that. You'll be on the news, be great fun ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,791 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Looks like a mortar or bomb fuse. Personally I would not muck about with stuff like that, I don't know how much charge it can have in it but it's not worth taking the risk. Phone the cops let them know what you have found. If it is inert they will give it back to you to keep. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,960 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's a late German bomb detonator. They were using piezo ceramic impact detonators with a small amount of early HE. The HE has probably deteriorated by now so you should be alright but I wouldn't fancy dropping it.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
