Italian mortar grenade

[Theodor]

Hi guys, today got a small Italian mortar grenade. I believe it has the original paint finish and is missing a metal cap on the front.

it's also missing the wire wrapped shrapnel piece thats supposed to be inside.

I have a complete one with the same painted color as yours

it's called a "BRIXIA MORTAR"

There is a good thread in the Italian forum on the Brixa and in one of the posts a link to a video of this being used, real complex for such a short range round
