Does anyone know how it call? Maybe somebody know a bit more - which toxic-agent was inside and so on. Unfortunaly and people in Czech don`t know name of this mine :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
It`s chemical Czechoslovak mine. It`s simillar to soviet MO-11, but opposite to MO-11 - this mine has fuze! But which fuze, how it works and etc. I don`t know.

It looks like a plastic body, is that correct?
 
I think plastic is kinda unlikely in chemical applications. Is this maybe something else?
 
My point exactly. Typical chemical agents will penetrate most plastics in relatively short time. I would suspect that this may be a training mine of sorts, or perhaps was intended for a liquid fuel type filler?
 
Yes. Is he a professional, or a hobbyist?

Yes, he is professional. I can`t tell where exactly he works, but has often enough work with EOD and now.
This mine in his collection and Army in Czech doesn`t have it in their collection.

But ok. If it isn`t chemical mine, then what? :) Which mine it could be? I haven`t ever seen any Czech mine with simillar body like this.

Yes, it`s very strange! This mine definitely has only one man in private colection in Czech! But and about soviet MO-11 none haven`t given any soviet document :wink:
But ok, if it isn`t Czech, then whose? :)
