WTK: What Type of Inert Landmine is this??

**md66948** · 11-22-2014 04:01 PM

Does anyone know what type of Landmine this is. I would also like to know it's value. I believe a pressure plate would attach to the threaded plug on the top of the mine. The mine is 10" in dia.

I picked this up, along with several Mausers & 1907 SMLE Bayonet, at an Estate Auction of a Major Colt and Military Arms Collector in Chester Co. PA.

Your advice and suggestions will greatly be appreciated!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It's a VS-2.2 mine "Italian icon

" and yes it's missing the pressure plate.

Destroyed tons of these in Iraq, this black one looks like a training aid dummy as I've only seen them in desert sand colour but know they also came in Green.
