Hi,
I am looking for data on a 60 mm Brandt mortar from 1932 (or earlier), I wonder if it was simply a 60 mm version - introduced later as pattern 1935 [?], and thus the same types of ammunition. Maybe someone came across a Brandt catalog for this 60 mm mortar from >1932 [was published].
Weight of projectile with fuze in 1932: 1,284 kg [with fuze "24/28" - so looks like as later "24/28 B model 1935"], 5 charges.
Weight of mortar [without sights and props]: 18,74 kg [barell 5,64 kg, plate 5,3 kg]
Data from FR manual 1938 for model 1935: 17,7 kg, projectile 1,33 kg
Thanks.
Cheers.
