    I'll agree that the striker is steel and it's cap and housing are aluminum, just as they should be, but from what I see from the penetration of the X-ray, the body holding the bore riding pin seems to be of a less dense material. Cheers, Y'all, Bruce.

    Sorry guys this is the best I can get for photos. Aas fro its time frame I am still trying to get info on a lot number that was on the mortar, but communications has slowed down right now. As for the fuze, it doesn't 't tell appear to be armed you can see the bore riding pin, as for the arming wire, I can't tell for sure but it appears to be missing, there does appear to be spme kind of wire near the base of the fuze but that wire seems too low to be the arming wire.

    Right now I amopen to just about anything, at lest until I can get more info from the source. Thanks all for the help and input
