Thanks, karlik... :wink:

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

Anyone interested in 50 mm Soviet mortars should check sa-kuva.fi numbers 113153-57, 115870, 127042-47, 172653-61. Use the Finnish version and tic "päivättömät" plus individual #.

And should you post sa-kuva.fi pictures on AF or elsewhere, please mention the picture number.

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

Hi all,

About my image posted on 26 Aug.2022, I think the BM-37 dont´t have the hand crank in the red circle
Any opinion ?
