Hello, pics of a nice new addition to the collection. I really do not collect flare trips, but looks like a WW2 M2 bounding mine, and was inexpensive.
A couple questions for other members & experts.
Was this M48 made in war time, or post-war? The body looks like it is WW2, and paint looks orig WW2 to me.
Was this M48 re packed at some point, post war? Is there a way to tell?
What does the black stenciling nomenclature mean? Detailed please. That stencil looks post war, and if inert, why all these parts pictured, and completeness?
The listing said it was empty, and inert. I emailed seller and he also said there was nothing inside of the tube. I check all ord I get carefully when I receive them, and I removed the cap to check it. It took a little convincing, and it has all the parts and bits inside. A nice extra. The small det looks suspicious to me :tinysmile_eyebrow_t any comments? What about that part?
Regards, Steve
