Is it true that the different coloured fuse pull-caps represented the different time delays?
i have a yellow one and a blue one on my egg grenade.

This item rings a bell....Seems to me that I've seen it 3 weeks ago.

Picked up the AT mine from Belgium, was a good find :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

The different colour pull caps on all igniters were for identification of the time delays as follows:

Red : 1 sec
Blue : 4.5 sec
Yellow : 7 sec
White : 10 sec

Hope the info helps.

So I'm right...La Gleize...The seller had offered this beauty to me - but unfortunately I had spent all my money before

 

[GermanMilitariaUK]

lol, La Gleize it was! First time at the fair over in Belgium and it turned out to be a very good show. Excellent weather!:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Welcome aboard Bernhard.
An excellent find indeed, you must be very pleased with it roud:.

I have seen a few before but not near as good condition and they went for hundreds.

Is the paintwork and markings all original?

Yes, indeed. The weather was fine. And here you can see the reason why I was out of pocket :smile:

I would like to attend that fair one day!
cheers

It's a SS Panzer-Hand-Mine (P.H.M.). It consists of a tapering steel body containing the hollow charge with a flat sticky pad at the nose covered by a press-on lid with a small handle.

Great mine, not seen one of those for a very long time! Looks in great condition, good find.

Just looks like it is just out of the box.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks also to engineer. Was a good show for both of you.

Was not too sure what the show would be like as it was my first time, but it turned out to be a great day out. Would recommend it for collectors next year.
