An INC shell for the T 10 mortar




Filling tools for the grenade body. A central spacer and a funnel.
iam not sure if the picric acid could be cast, so probably for inert
filling.




A life T 10 grenade/shell fully loaded with screwdriver to activate the
firing pin.

There are jpn. sources mentioned about an adjustable time fuze (powder?)
for the T - 10 grenade.
That would make sence. Annother fuze to look for.
