This is a direct action fuze in bronze, without delay, actuated by the forcing back, on impact, of a wooden striker extension. Safety is ensured by the arrangement of centri-fugally operated safety bolts (see description of percussion fuze A.Z. 23 Rh.S. (0.25)) and the detonator holder is supported on an iron ring as in percussion fuze J.Gr.Z. 23 n.A. (0.15).

The marking of the fuze shows that it is used for a light trench mortar bomb and judging by the dimensions of the ogive into which this fuze is screwed the bomb would be of ap-proximately 7.5 cm calibre.
