Can anyone give me an ID on this anti personnel mine please?

The body measures approx 130mm high and 90mm in diameter.

Overall height including the fuzing is approx 210mm

Inside the top is attached the metal tube shown in picture 5.

Picture 4 shows the underside of the lid, with what appears to be a length of fuze protruding from it.

Cheers

Pete

Pete,

If you didn't already know - British Experimental, filled Glascoed.

Pete,

Its most odd as by 1960 we were using 'Dingbat' and 'Elsie' type mines which were designed to incapacitate rather than kill. I thought 'Bounding Mines' like the Mine, Fragmentation Mk3 had long since been declared obsolete. Maybe an envisaged training aid for practicing against foreign mines of that pattern.

Norman will be along soon!
