Hello
I search for information on this 8cm mortar.
Anyone have a name and a model for 8cm, with "bl" as marking.
Thanks in advance

Hello,

Just a thought, could it be a practice round, "Bl" for "Blind" ?

Cheers
 
I thought the Exerzier variant would be used for training.
This one does not have the space for aditional charges on the stabilizer to train the loading.
Why would there be a difference in the stabilizer at all?
My first thought was mortar adapted to aerial bomb or submunition, like the soviet AO-2,5-3.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I also think it is the German SD-3 from which part of the tail assembly is missing.
