Identification Help Please?

[WildWeasel]

I have recently obtained two mortar rounds. a 60mm and one that I believe to be 82mm. The 60mm round I believe is a M769 TP round, now there is no doubt that it is a TP round, as there is a solid aluminum fuze and holes in it's side. The probable 82mm on the other hand, is a bit of a mystery to me. If anybody can confirm that it is indeed 82mm and what kind of round it is, and where it originated I would be greatfull. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong on the 60mm as well. I will be posting pictures. Thank You!

Not a positive id but for some reason im thinking Spanish with the colours

 

[WildWeasel]

Thank you, it is in fact Spanish as I bought it in Spain, i was unsure if it was from here though.

 

[WildWeasel]

Could it possibly be from a MAT-81 mortar?

Yes...this mortar is Spanish. Modelo Ecia (Esperanza y Cia) 81 mm.

 

[WildWeasel]

Do you know any way I can tell when it was made? There is writing on it but it is hardly visible.

Hello,

This model of grenade of mortar was made in Spain by Ecia between in Spain1940 and 1951 (more or less).
