Hi, I have added to my collection what I think is a Soviet PMD-6 wood box mine. It was from a seller in Poland, and came with a MUV fuze. I would think it's a Russian mine or a Finnish mine, I do not think any others made these?
This mine has a white stripe diagonally painted on top, which I think is the Soviet marking for a training mine. I already had the glass bottle charge, or "Stalin's Perfume bottle", and it fits perfectly inside.
A smaller mine I have had for a while, similar to a PMD-7 it is pictured next to this new practice mine. A few people have told me this is a Finnish box mine, and a almost exact copy of the Russian mines. After comparison of the construction or the two mines, I am not too sure that the smaller mine is "Finnish" and could in fact maybe be a Russian box mine?
What do others know and think about these box mines? Does anybody have more info, and detailed photos to share?

P.S. the small charge in PMD-7 is 100% INERT it is a repro I have made.
