G'day Vinny and Jolly green thanks for the replies If it's possible Vinny could you please post some pic's of your german items I would just like to know what was in the sets Did they do a M24? or the egg grenades? and which mines etc.

Regards Daryl
 
There was both a Japanese and a German training mine set produced by the US. Each had mock-up ordnance and came packed in similar wooden crates. Many years ago I had one set of each with all of the items, but I traded them off decades ago. I do not remember what was in the German set, but it was a full box of items each in their own compartment. The Tellermines mentioned no doubt came from a set because I do recall one or two of them in my box. Bob
