Fuse Wrench
« on: April 03, 2019, 08:42:02 AM »
Hey guys  I picked this up the other day.  Its handmade by a blacksmith.  It looks quite a bit like a fuse wrench in Chuck Jones' fuse book.  The tip is different I don't know if its for a specific type of fuse or possibly altered at a later time.  Its hard to tell.  What do y'all think.  Ronnie

   possibly.   Most fuze wrenches for percussion fuzes that have multiple parts, like a center anvil that removes, have a way to install the body, and remove the center piece. All in one wrench.     But, it could be.

We see these periodically at the shows but not sure how I can tell they are a military artillery tool vrs. a home made T-handle wrench.
Best,
