Hello! Tell me what detonator used for this Romanian engineering charge, preferably a photo? I've seen these items only marked 1937 production, they produced only in this year? I would be grateful for any information on the subject. Thanks in advance!

Imagine

I still have to investigate, but the person owning the red-orange tablecloth in the picture should be very careful with the green item above it, that has belonged to the Romanian Defence Ministry (MAN = Ministerul Apararii Nationale), because it seems to contain trinintrotoluen (C6H2(NO2)3CH3), a powerful explosive - in theory it explodes only if triggered by a detonator (not by shock or fire).

Thank you! It is an empty box - its contents are destroyed. I would like to have more information about this thing? This is a rarity?
