Mine Contact Mk II Packing - 1.jpgMine Contact Mk II Dwg - 1.jpg
Mine Contact A-Tk MkII was filled with 8.4 lbs Baratol 10/90.
The M74 was the dedicated package for this mine and must be extremely rare.
The Mk II was soon replaced by the IV in 1942 and again by the Mk V and the MkV HC which was produced in some numbers.
 
I have a couple spare in good condition if someone wants to swap for a 6 pdr C263 or happy to sell.

It is hard to find info on these boxes. Do you have any pics of markings on your M74 boxes? Mine still has the rubbers on the handles but the box itself has been repainted and I want to try and bring it back to original state.
