Hi Abby ...Glad you like them. Another Ord collector eh ? It looks like Pierre smoked us all out here .
Depending on where they were used and ..what was available (of course) I’ve seen the 44’s mated with S.Mi.Z..35’s and even ZZ.42’s . Of course everyone always pictures the “stereotype” S Mine with the 3 prongs sticking out.
I believe the American version of the S Mine even had a similar Fuze config (got a shot of one somewhere)
Things might have changed by now but , I remember years ago when I first bought mine ..the general “consensus” was that for every 100 model 35’s you’d see …you’d only find one model 44.
I don’t know if they are still hard to find.
Please post a picture of your 44 ..I’d love to see it.
