Hello,

I'm looking for information on this long sprengmine (picture 1)
This picture from the net says it's a Voith minenwerfer but 26cm Voith tube I know is different (and mines are different too)

I know a short 25cm version with same shape (picture 2 and 3)

Regards

Thanks al'saad but I don't talk about these 25cm mortar shells (often found in France) but other series with basic construction, made of sheet metal (and wood), without driving band, and a top handle.

Regards
 
Ok, sorry again for picking up such an really old thread, but the shell seems to be one from an Erdmörser and really has no connection to the Voith Minenwerfer
 
Yup, thats what I mean. The „coal buckets“ were used by the erdmörser, the most simple version of any German mörser
 
Two models known with cone and handle, short and long.
Know as "schwere Sprengmine für Erdmörser & Albrecht mörser"/"Koleneimer mit Kegel"
