Does anyone have anything on this one (27 Jan)? Almost looks like an early version of the expanding baseplate for a 4.2-inch. Am I reading Gass Shell?

The 4.2 looks like possibly a variant of two mortars I found while back here is a link to my thread

Thanks, I'd forgotten that one. I need to look up the diameter, it has the look of a three inch.

Any idea on that green cylinder with 2 red bands? Looks Polish, maybe chemical?

It looks to be a Polish chemical mine, mustard fill, although they also had an incendiary model.

Great picture, shame it wasn't cut!

Does anyone have any additional information/references related to this item?

Cheers

Hi,
it seems an Italian time and mechanical fuze model 1942, (=spoletta MT M 42). However there is some constructive difference.
best regards

#1-2 is a Soviet "AD"
#5-6 is a Soviet "T-3
Both great items. Any chance to see the other markings of them? In particular the factory mark would be of interest.

Getting ready for a show (bullet hunt) plus 8-inches of snow due by mid-day, I'll try and check later.
