Hi, Could anyone identify this mine, The mine comes in 3 parts and the base pattern reminds me of the Mk 7's base made at ROF Nottingham. It weighs 6.6kg as it stands.

Thank you very much for that. Did it come like this or did it have any other parts.

It's just UITM-60 (УИТМ-60) according to Russian (Soviet-era) manuals, so the initial hyphen spacer isn't present. A diagram from a 1976 Russian manual is below

Uses the UIMV-60 (УИМВ-60) fuze, which isn't present in the images.

The UITM-60 is designed to emulate the TM-57 (ТМ -57) anti-tank blast mine.

Thank you to you all for the information Most helpful, I have now started to free off the springs with some Duck oil and will probably coat in wax and leave it as it is.
