question to mortar collectors...

[kursant504]

Boxes that I show they are from l.Gr.W. 36.
Box for s.Gr.W.34 is the similar, but tools and parts are different and that means that on the paper tag another words is written.

Here some fotos and from one book
1) it is box for l.Gr.W. 36

2) it is box for l.Gr.W. 36, but letters was corrected by solders at the front and now it is for s.Gr.W.34 ( l.Gr.W.35 to s.Gr.W. 34, 5 cm to 8 cm)

3)original s.Gr.W.34 box:

Here is one more interesting and very-very rare book, it was the first time when I see it. I was trying to buy it, but I have a bad luck:

I put up the Granatwerfer beside the computer today, as I have not pictured the mortar with all accessories before.

When my wife came home from work and saw this, she called me a war-nerd....
haha.. Our 6 year old son loved it thou

Here is our mortars



And tool box, but from 50mm l.Gr.W.

Wery nice stuff you show here.

I understand you're a member of a reenactment group?

Do you have close up pictures of the "Tragegestell" for bipod and ground plate?
I'd also like to see pictures of the "tragevorrichtung" or carrying device for the Werferrohr or the barrel.

These parts are very difficult to find those days. Are the parts you have all original, or have you had them reproduced?


Cheers
Björn

[kursant504]

Yes, I`m from reenactment group and we have one more mortar now (the third).

Yes I have pictures of originals, but they are not very good. I know how they looks and how they were made, because we made repros of them for our mortars, but I can only explain it in a words.

I have never seen an original tragegestell for zweibein (only metal parts from the ground or at fotos and books). Tragevorrichtung for bodenplatte is also very rare, but I have saw it in original (on mp44.nl web-site).
Tragevorrichtung for barrel is not so rare. If you will luck you can find it in a sell. But tragevorrichtung for rohr is consist of two parts: "cap" for barrel and the long sling.
I know a man how have some original "caps" for sale.

And the long sling is on sale now:

Hi Björn,

here are some nice photos of rare Accessories for 8cm mortar 34 ;-)

The first photo shows the base plate for Sdkfz.251 and the second shows the Gefechtskarren (built in 1938)
