ID please?

Another item that needs IDing please?

Sorry I don't have any other info e.g. diam, or lgth as the item is in another collection.

Some body should be able to ID from the shape, hopefully?

Thanks, Regards Ozzi.

Hi Ozzi,To my untrained eye it looks to be a cobble,the diameter of the warhead is larger than the tail fins,somehow it does not look "right",
Cheers,
Don,

G-Day beihan,
You may well be right, the tail fins look like off 81mm mortar.
I will know more when it arrives (too late Ive bought it!).
I will post more when I have it in my hot little hands.
Regards Ozzi.

fins remind me of a US 90mm HEAT recoiless rifle round, the boom is a little longer then on this round, it is sure too long for any mortar round

Just looking at the way it's put together, it kinda looks like Vietnamese (Viet-Cong) field put together. Cheers, Bruce.

Chaps,

More pics of mystery item

It is 90mm in Dia. the fins have a leading edge & the projectile body has what looks like rifling marks both indicating that the item was spin stabilised.

Not a bit of stampings or painted info on the "thing". Nose section before the rifling seems to be thin steel but the base of the projectile is heavy (solid).

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Regards Ozzi.

could it be a rifle grenade?

Thanks, but doubt it as it is heavy (3.5kg) & long (around 450-500mm). It also looks like it has been fired from something rifled as it has rifling marks on the raised edge of the body.

Regards Ozzi.
