I have two versions available, ones with a more detailed fuse and ones without a detailed fuse. The eggs without the detailed fuse lack the string and the simulated friction wire. See photos. You can also choose to have the carry ring attached. This would have been held on by a sheet metal bowtie originaly but since these are PVC what I can do is drill two smal holes in the bottom and run a wire loop through them to securly hold the ring. See photos.

The Ordinance tan color is a very nice color and so is the black/green color though in some lights it looks black, in other lights Green, or sometimes blueish but it is deffinantly a very dark Green.

The eggs are made from two pieces of machined PVC plastic and when the two halves are assembled it gives the impression of the seam that would have existed between the two stamped steel halves. Each has an all-thread fuse that in machined to closely approximate the top of an actual BZE. The wings are thick steel pressed to the correct shape. These fuses are the "wings down" version of the BZE which means they replicate the quiet ignition type that used a friction pellet. I chose this version because the wings down will be more safe when thrown because the wings don't stick out at awkward angles. Yes, the wings are a good bit thicker than originals (about 1mm to be exact.) I did this for many reasons but mostly I wanted to ensure they keep their shape when thrown many times over. The pull ball is made from one piece of turned aluminum and has the lip detail that makes it look like it is made from two stamped pieces. The shape is more correct than any other reproduction I have yet found. Admittedly the bottom could be a bit deeper but it isn't to distracting. The top of the shape is perfect. They were not perfect little balls with a ring around the middle; they were much more saucer shaped. I have two original examples that look like this. The blue paint is a good shade of blue though it will probably be different than the original that you own. I have seen many different shades of blue paint and many different configurations of that blue paint including the whole ball being blue, the top disc being painted before being attached the lower half, the top being painted (like mine), and the top being painted with two blue stripes going down the sides of the lower. It is crazy how inconsistent German equipment can be.

Dimensions: 1:1 scale

Egg shaped with a sort of ball thing on top.

In the above photo the egg on the left shows a detailed fuse and the egg on the right shows a fuse with no detail.

The Green egg in the bottom photos is either a mint original or a repainted original. I am not sure because the paint is in outstanding condition and there are no indications that is was stripped but the color is a little weird. Shown for comparison not for sale. If you are an observant person you will notice that the little raised thing where the fuse screws in is taller on my reproduction; this varied a lot depending on manufacturer and the date of manufacture. The top of that little raised area is where they sealed the egg after filling it. Some originals were crimped in a nice bender and some were actually crudely crimped with a hammer. This green one was done with a hammer which is why the top looks a little rough. I have seen many done both nice and smooth in a bender (looks like my egg) and roughly with a hammer. I could talk about eggs all day but I think this description is pretty lengthy already; if you want to know more just ask me.
