Thank you for identification. Maybe someone has a technical data sheet or cutaway drawing ?
 
I also would like very much additional technical info on these mines, that I have never seen before.
Regards,
Bellifortis.
 
The Sakaramiina 65 has three parts; the charge (60g TNT), the fuze (Yleissytytin 65 or YS 65), and the plastic three-pronged 'crown' (Sakaralaukaisin 65).

The Sakaramiina 65 98 has three parts; the charge (60g TNT), the fuze (Yleissytytin 65 or YS 65), and the steel three-pronged 'crown' (Sakaralaukaisin 98).

So the only thing that is different is the 'crown' - it was changed to steel for various reasons (CCW Protocol I mostly).
 
Hello Stackmouse,
Thanks for informations.
Do you have information on the other mine on the picture ?
Regards
 
The other one is a rare one, the "Hyppymiina 59". I don't have much on it, but it is a bouncing mine with cast iron shell with a charge of 150g TNT and with a total weight of 1,6 kg.
