Hello,

Who know this factory code on the Dutch Landmine No. 2.
It is a W with a circle with in the middle I think HD.

Is this from Van Heijst & Sons from The Hague in the Netherlands. This metal factory has made a lot of military items, etc.

Greetings - Antoon

Hello,

Maybe the HD is only a H.

Has to take a look at other No. 2 landmines to see what the markings are.
