HI  please enjoy the illusive SD2. AB.70.3  container, hard to find in any condition these days, these will be cleaned and restored to museum quality then end up in a museum somewhere probably!!

Indeedy mister Jeeens. very very nice

 

Whats the fuze type?  Im guessing a Type 9?

[jeeeensy]

Evening Gents,,  and thank you,,,  ill look at the fuse later Waff, will make a nice close up and post here for you.

[jeeeensy]

It look like its  just the  top part of a fuse as its very thin, the gain would  be located in the container next to the sheer pin connected back to the fuse via a drop lead ( copper wire link cable)  the fuse would trigger the gain the gain would sever the pin and the container open up ,at least that's how it appears.

Yeah,here brotherman. Yes that is the basic release one for this particular container. Thanks for showing it.  Note that there is no particular number on the fuze boss.

Waiting for better temparatures at my workshop,before it goes for an Evaporust dipping. Be next Spring now methinks.

[Waffenamt]

Once ive dipped and cleaned this item,what do you boys suggest i do to keep it rust free?

Clear lacquer maybe??

[Richard Auld]

If you must do anything I think a bit of light oiling, can always be removed?

Good point.  Still waiting for the weather to break here. Ive noticed the de-rusting works better when my workshop has warmed up. Ive got a show this weekend. Was hoping to take it then,but unlikely.
