Other strange item

[Yodamaster]

I don't think that a munition or part of munition but.....
Have someone see this sort box ?
It's metal with a metal cover, apparently the cover was sealed on the box with tape.
When it's open, it smell like gasoline.

My first idea is a sort of field eater.


Diameter is 16.4 cm and height 7.5 cm

Looks a bit like a smoke generator I once had. It has a strange smell and the smoke smells even worse.

Agree, it looks like one of those pots filled with petroleum jelly for keeping food warm. But could be a smoke gen.

 

[Charlie]

Changed my mind lol and agree with racefiets as a smoke gen. Civy version below.

Should you have an idea about nationality and designation ?

Waow Chris, I think you are very close to it, but the measurements are not the same

Mine is 164 mm diameter and 75 mm height !

I think russian smoke pots is a good way ! Thanks

I thought so too, but different sizes. It isn`t DM-11

 

[Ivashkin]

I think it could be this, but again - not all clear with sizes.
