Bomb fuze pin question

Recommended Posts

I have been searching with no luck so thought I would try on here.  

 

Does anyone have pictures of how the fuze arming pin was inserted on the bomb? I have pictures of the writing that goes on the tag but not sure exactly how the cotter pin was inserted into the fuze.

 

Thanks so much for any assistance.... Kat

Kat, here are a couple of pics of the bomb of mine. The pin/ arming wire lines up to prevent the fuse from spinning until released. Pics show with pin and without. If you need more or better images I can shoot some in the sunlight tomorrow,

Hope this helps,

Mark
