Hello,
This 81 mm mortar grenades were used a lot in the Spanish Civil War for the Republican Army. They were known as "GRANADAS BRANT" and were used of 60 millimeters, too.
The fuzes that used: The original Brandt model 18 IR, the "RemondY - Gaba" R.Y.G. model 1918, the French 24/31 model 1899/15 called in Spain "Cabeza de Tornillo - head of Screw" and other fuzes manufactured in Spain, for example, the fuze "Valencia" or the fuze "Rubio".
By this way, the mortar grenade the high capacity Brandt were used in Spain, too.
