FRENCH WW1 75MM BEEHIVE FUZE NUMBER 2 POSTING


Recommended Posts

WW1 CIRCA 1916 canon de 75 modèle 1897 fuze .

nick named the beehive fuze because it does resemble one ,

more often than not you normally find them on the ,

end of a relic shell head,

these are some before and after photos

following my tried and tested method,

of a 50/50, mix of acid and water,

of course observing your own safety ,

with a fumes mask goggles and rubber gloves etc,

a minute or 2 in the mix ,

then a good soak in pure water,

then on to the wire buffing wheel on the bench grinder,

and a good going over with a cloth buffing wheel,

on the bench grinder,

then make up a stand et voila .

PLASE BE CAREFULL WHEN HANDLING ACIDS ETC ,

DONT DO ANYTHOING IN A CLOSED IN ENVIRNMENT ,

AND WEAR THE PROPER SAFTY GEAR,

AND HAVE FRESH WATER STANDING BY JUST IN CASE !!!!
