Reply With QuoteWould this have a lever operated firing pin or a drop type ie mortar bomb drops on pin?

It has a lever operated firing pin....I have one, it has a WaA popped on the leveling bubble cover, so it must have been German used. I am curious whether they could use the standard German 5cm mortar round in it....

Yes, the Fallschirmjager used them and surely other soldiers. What is the leveling bubble cover?
Best Regards.

Here are some pics of my demilled mortar....there are two leveling bubbles which I am not sure are original to the French versions...the one on the base seems to have been added, while the one on the tube fits into a pre-existing dovetail. Also took shots of the "trigger" lever and some overall shots for you..

I see now. Maybe just a German Inspector marked it with the "OK Eagle" for service in the German Army. Congratulations, it is an extremelly nice piece and thank you for the photos.
Best Regards.

Hello,
I have just aquired a 60mm WW2 French mortar round which looks similar to yours. Could anyone let me have some info on this? (It's definitely 60mm). I would particularly like to see a section or a drawing of the workings.
Many thanks in advance,
