Which Minenwerfer is this?

[Przemek]

Photos of my shell 75,8mm Ub, witch sand in center and three fuzes for increase the weight. 4x stamps "Ex" at it.

I think dano has it correct the messages carrying or the leaflet one is 220 mm long.

But it has the regular fuze on with no detonator attached.

This week end, I picked up what I was told was a 77 Artillery round, after looking it over, I concluded that it was a 76 Minenwerfer round witha 77 case attached (nowm not only do I need to find a 77 projectile, I need to find a Minenwerfer, this hobby is getting expensive). It has a normal LWM Zdr.2. fuse, but inside there is a cannister to contain a smoke charge and a very small message capsel in the end of the cannister. Is this a message round?

Hi
No rare rond
It's practice bomb minen filled with sand and sometimes paper and little steel pieces
Sometimes the head is fitted with zinc plug or ebonit plug in place of the fuze

Have not seen one in a while in this good looking condition. Looks better than the one in my collection. Great find.

To me it does not look like good condition, it is just a good restored one. In Post No. 18 you can see the white filler used to fill the rust holes (the color is new). Whit a lathe, some filler and color it is a quick work to get it looking "new" ;-)

I was referring to the one showed by member Gustaf.

ahh, ok Thought you mean the b-Mine, because others praise it so much what I not understood...

I have a round exactly like the one shown by Gustaf. From what I have seen on this thread, it appears to be a message round with a message compartment and smoke filling in the center cylinder. Is this correct? Pat

 

[Alpini]

yes you are correct, have also the same. It's name is "leichte Nachrichtenmine".
