These were picked up by a friend at yesterdays military show. The Mortar bomb has holes all around the head and is filled with what looks like a tar
kind of composition ? Can any one explain this and why the holes. No fuze or plug present
The other object is believed to be a rifle grenade subcaliber projectile, lead tip. it might have contained some kind of charge device ? 1970s ~
Does any one know ?
