And I think it`s hand grenade. During WWI were a lot of unknow grenade, about which we know only name, but without any information. And those grenade were useing in Romania. Romanian wasn`t reach country and could have grenade since WWI and for WWII.
 
Hi Werner,

it look more on a hand grenade. I don't can explain a fragmentation body on a blast APers mine !!!

The fuze let me think on the Yougoslavian grenade fuze UM-P1.

Have you dimensions of your munition ?

I've seen AP mines with fragmentation body, but they have all had a stake on the bottom, which this one doesn't, not even a place to put it on the one above.

Device has this size:
High - 9.5 cm
diametr - 8 cm
diametr hole for fuze - 3 cm
diametr washer inside hole for for fuze - 2.5 cm
wall thickness - 0.7-1 cm

I think too, that it if A/P mine it should have wood stick (like mine POMZ-2), but it dioesn`t have. And put this device in ground very stipid, because all fragments will be in ground. That`s why I think it`s grenade, maybe some defence grenade.
And in Romania during WWII wasn`t mime like this - they were very poor for this and had only few types of land-mine!

And I don`t have this device. I only asked size. Maybe persom, who bought it, will make better and more.
