I was sent this picture earlier today, with a request to help identify the projectiles. No much to go on, no scale, no background etc. Something about several of them looks Italian or Austro-Hungarian to me, can anyone assist? Thanks.

These are ww1 austro-hungarian projectiles.
2 to 5 are for mortars.
I don't know the designation of n°2. For sure pneumatic mortar as n°3 but seems to have larger caliber.
The shell (no 1) looks like a 12cm Gr.

No 2 appears to be the 20cm light M16 trench mortar.
No 5 is the 22cm M15 trench mortar

Hello Fert,
What is the designation of No 2 (on my picture). Looks larger and shorter than 20cm M16 (No3) ?
 
Hello,
both are used in 20cm LMW M16,
need to check the manual for the right designation
kg 22,7 with 5kg of dynammon
kg 34,8 with 7kg of dynammon

That confirms there are two sizes for the Luftmine M.16.
And I assume that no. 3 is the Mittlere Luftmine M.16.
So what is no. 2 ?
 
Hello
2-3 are both 20cm LMW
Is just the angle of picture that show you different.
Regards
