Russian anti-personnel mine PMD 6F glass bottle

Hello
I found this bottle in Kurland, Latvia.
As far as this is rare? Can somebody interested? I read that these were made in the besieged Leningrad.P2020009.jpgP2020014.jpgP2020019.jpg

Hm, very interesting.
I haven`t ever heared about PMD-6f around Leningrad and that this mine besieged in Leningrad.
PMD-6F was produseing only on Soust of USSR - Roston-na-Donu and Krasnodar. This region.
But of cource, PMD-6F could be and in other regions. For example - PMK-40 was produceing ONLY in Leningrad, but this mine was very popular in Ukranian partizans :) But in the same moment, PMK-40 you can fined just around Leningrad and in that area where fighted all Leningrad fronts.
And mine not rare. Of cource. for Latvia definetely rare :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
 
Thanks for the quick reply.
About Leningrad I read in Wikipedia. I wondered if it was used there and there and made. Because there was a shortage of TNT

Ahahahaha like and in any other situation English speaking Wiki knows much more as any other specialist from ex-USSR. Really cool.
But just one problem - 99.9% mines PMD-6F in Internet you can see just from South of Russia. Not Ukraine, Crimea and not Lenngrad. But you mine probably first from Latvia :)

By the way, you can see on Wiki information about PMD-6 during Witner war. It`s definetely fake! About it you can read in my last topic here on BOCN.
 
Some years ago I bought a bunch of these bottles from a digger who told that he had found them at Leningrad area.
