BOCN Guess what it is

[pointblank0]

Is the hole part of the demilling process or is it supposed to be there?

 

[Bonnex]

How about a fuze cap (Fuze No 213 type for instance).

 

[spotter]

the hole is supposed to be there,Bonnex is on the right lines with a cap ,but the cap is screwed onto something..(not a 213 fuze)

 

[pointblank0]

How about a cap from the 2" mortar fuze, 161 I think?

 

[spotter]

not from the 2"

 

[pointblank0]

not from the 2"

162 fuze for the 81mm?

 

[spotter]

yep its the no162 fuze used on 3"mortars and others

rifle grenade

 

[hangarman]

US rocketttttttttttttttttt

 

[Bonnex]

Blindicide projectile perhaps (Mecar RL83 ot thereabouts)

 

[pointblank0]

No to all the above. More basic than a rocket, and not a rifle grenade.

 

[spotter]

is it american ?

 

[Bonnex]

Tail of an improvised mortar bomb perhaps?

 

[pointblank0]

is it american ?

No. Not American, but not British either.

 

[pointblank0]

Tail of an improvised mortar bomb perhaps?

Not improvised but you're on the right lines.

 

[reccetrooper]

It's a mortar round, I've seen a photo of the type online, but I don't know the calibre or nationality. I would guess at Spain, and 81mm.

 

[reccetrooper]

Spanish Model 41 High Capacity

Bingo! Spot on....

 

[reccetrooper]

Ok, try this folks.
