Thanks, karlik... :wink:

It is noteworthy that the carrying handle of the mortar base is on the side instead of on the back.

Hi Sturm 78,

You are right! These mortar ammo shells belong to the Soviet 50mm mortar RM-38 or RM-40 (RM = company mortar). Here a pic of the model RM-38.

Best regards

Bert
