Here are two pictures i found of a very similar marked mine.
Don't forget the other type of S-mine that was sealed in the pot with a tin seal soldered in place, these were very common in use, you can tell this type with the absent of the three shear screw holes at the bottom of the pot, dated around 41 42.

Yes, why not? It is just a small part of the paint. If the mine was 100% with paint would not do it, but in that condition I would do it without problems. Anyway Steve I´m just joking with it, brb or brh doesn´t matter, it is a nice mine and that is enough. I already have the items boxed, but don´t worry, you will receive what you have in the list.

Great photos, very interesting. Thanks for posting.

I just saw today searching the mine you mention with no shear screws and seal. I did not know about these type until now. Some very good info said so far in this thread.

Hi. Whilst not my main area of interest, I think the S.Mi 35 is a quintessential artifact from WW2; so sort to add one to my collection. I found a nice one that was dated 1941 (original paint, waffenamt and black stenciling present). Unfortunately it was poorly wrapped and the body punched a hole in the packaging and the lid was lost in the post @$%^& Whilst I look for a replacement I have married the body up with an ordnance tan one that is stamped avz4-35. Can anybody tell me who made this lid? Cheers
