Mines

Excellent example as normal Gary.

On a slightly different track, can anyone confirm if this is correct or not. I personally think it is bogus, I don't like the way it smiles for one! Every other I have seen has been the same and I am not aware of any variations on these.

Cheers,

Teller Mines -Colours & Markings

Hi guys,
I'd like to re-open this thread for anyone who has any colour schemes and/or stenciling for T.Mi 42 and T,Mi 43's. At the moment, I've got 4 mines, 2 x 42's, one 42 practice mine and a T.Mi43. One of the 42's was used by the British Army bomb disposal unit and had been painted Green. I removed this and found a sand finish which was badly scratched (probably sanded so that the new paint would take). I managed to match the colour and repainted it. The rest are German mines used by the Finnish army and have been re-painted in Red-Oxide. I would like to bring them all back to their original condition and would like some photos. I've attached a picture of the "T.Mi42 Training Mine" for your enjoyment. If anyone can help by posting photo's of mines and their markings, I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
Neil

Another T.Mi42. No obvious signs of ever having any (Stenciled) markings -The only markings being the Maker and date.
Does anyone have any photo's of landmines with stenciled markings?
