Sectioned german 5cm mortar

[waffenamt]

I do like how this has turned out!
I hope you boys do as well!

Decide to display this with its transit cap as i only have one metal and one bakelite fuze,so i didnt fancy butchering them!

close up..

I was gutted as the `w` got a bit damaged whilst being converted.
still turned out great to me though!

I might be willing tr maybe trade for something? Spotters helping me get a pic up so look and make sure it would be something you would want.Its a half section,with a good view of the arming piston. Talk to you soon I hope?

Think ive identified your fuze as a Wgr.Z.T or wurfgranatzuender T
An Impact fuze made of Trolitul which was a type of moulded plastic
Used with
5cm mortar
80mm mortar
100mm mortar
and others

anyone confirm the above findings

 

[waffenamt]
