Tellermine 43 and vTMM-1

Hello all. Here is a picture of a couple of my AT mines. I have a love for tellermines. I am think that the one painted up like a tellermine is a painted up fake. There is some blue paint on the bottom of it coming through the dark green paint. I do know the Yugo is the real deal.
I am refinishing my basement so all my stuff is in boxes.

The possible fake Tellermine the handle is wrongly fitted , look at the mine on the left.
I too had a great love of the Tellermines , although i have sold them all and collect only Bomb fuzes .

The mine on top appears to be a tellermine 35 and the one on bottom a tellermine 42. But the mine that I have that is suppose to be a tellermine 43.

How does the handle differ from an actual tellermine? I am on a little vacation and I don't have my reference material with me right now.

Thanks.

anyone can provide some schematics and drawings of tellermine? thanks!
 
tellermine handles

Hi ya all,

regarding the remark on the tellermine carrying handles, please don't believe the exact texts in the manuals, not even ww2 german manuals.
I recovered quite some T-mines here in Holland, and handles on same types were sometimes differently fixed.
I don't think you can ID a "real" or a "fake" one only by its handle.
