Re: I need help to Id mortar
Yes, this is in fact a 10.5cm NbW-35; look at the substantial bipod, which is just a larger, heavier version of the bipod of the 8cm sGW-34, and the size of the tube and bomb, which are larger than that of the 8cm weapon. Other than scale, the two are identical in appearance, thus difficult to tell apart.Sturm78 wrote:Nebelwerfer 35??? Ummhhhhh. I don`t think.
See the images posted on 08 June and 18 Aug 2010 in this thread. I think it is the same mortar.
On the other hand I need help with this other mortar: 12cm Gr.W.42 ???

Re: I need help to Id mortar
I realy can't see the differences between the PM 38 or 39
The 50 mm Model 1939 was intended to replace the Model 1938 as it had proved expensive to produce. As things turned out the Model 1939 was itself replaced very quickly by an even cheaper version, the Model 1940.
The Model 1939 at first glance seemed identical to the Model 1938 but the gas vents were omitted in favour of the usual elevation controls on the bipod. The Model 1939 retained the Model 1938 base plate and sight.
In German use the Model 1939 became the 5 cm Granatwerfer 205/2(r).

Re: I need help to Id mortar
Hi all,
I need help with these two images. I think 10cm Nebelwerfer 35 mortars but I am not sure.
In the first image we can see his carts for transport (loaded on SdKfz 11 halftracks, probably: see ramps)

Re: I need help to Id mortar
Hi All,
I found this photo on ebay yesterday. It seems to me that the mortar is a Soviet 82mm BM-36 because the Base-plate appears to have only one receiver socket and has the distinctive BM-36 rectangular raised lip framing the Receiver socket. Any thoughts?

Re: I need help to Id mortar
I believe these are Skoda (or Böhler?) 14cm vz. 17's.
Re: I need help to Id mortar
Hi SASH155,
I've only been able to find some information about a czech mortar called 14cm hrubý minomet Vz.18 (Skoda)
See this link: http://www.delostrelectvocsarmady1918-1 ... omet-vz_18
The image of this page about this weapon is of bad quality and I can not confirm if it is the same weapon, as I suppose.

Re: I need help to Id mortar
That is correct, I just had the wrong designation, I thought it was a vz. 17 ("M.17" in the old KüK Armée). I believe the weapons were built by Böhler, but I could be wrong.
