I have this photo and made it in the museum Hoge Krater in Ieper (Belgium).
No measurements off course.
Have never seen it in any documention.
Maybe someone at BOCN can !!!!

This looks like the half size (height) 25cm heavy smoke/incendiary minenwerfer - 1/2 Schwere brandmine.

Hi
This one is training sMW with recharged smoking little charge

Hey Chris, I'd agree with Doctor. We saw the training rounds quite often in 76mm, and on occassion as a 170mm. This is the first I've seen as a 25cm, but all else is the same. Initially I heard all of them called smoke/incendiary, but our mutual friend from Belgium set it straight.

Thanks for the clarification doctor. Do you have a sectioned drawing? If this isn't a brandmine did they have one in this calibre and again do you have a sectioned drawing showing the difference?

Thanks
