This gaine is used in conjunction with the A.Z. 39 fuze in hollow charge shell and is situ-ated in the base of the shell cavity.

The steel body is cylindrical in shape with a flange at its base and has a chamfered top on which is formed a tubular neck. Its overall length is 1.33 inches and its diameter at the body and neck is 0.73 inch and 0.32 inch respectively. There are no holes in the side of the body as in the case of the Model 40 type of gaine. The neck fits into the lower end of the central tube in the shell.

Internally, it is fitted with a suitably shaped bakelite washer at the forward end and a filling similar to that in the Model 40 gaine, but two cardboard discs are inserted in front of the screwed plug in the base.

A green label, with red bar and marked "Zdlg. 41" was stuck on the outside of the base plug.
