Hi,

Is this a bouncing mine and if so from what country. Thanking you all in advance and
hoping to hear from some of you very soon.

Regards, juno-44

Yes, it is a bouncing mine. I do not know the country of manufacture. It seems to be a copy (with some slight changes) of a british Mk2 bouncing mine.

Bellifortis.
 
What Bellifortis said. It appears similar to a British, Mine, Shrapnel Mk II. However, the hole for the striker lever is circular and on Mk II it was rounded corner oblong in shape. There appears to be only evidence of one carrying lug, whereas the Mk II had two.

Hi,

Thanks to both of you. It is a British Mk11 shrapnel mine, I did not recognize it at first both ears being broken off.
