Can anyone ID this mortar bomb that was given to me by a neighbour. It is 81/82mm and I think the tail unit is quite distinctive. The fuze has a marking starting with ZZ. Also of note is the Soviet style gas check rings. It comes apart into two pieces so I think it is illum the body colour is possibly grey ontop of red primer.
