Boy.. must be late for my MORTAR.. check my spelling

Anyway... Not sure why I thought this was US.. Its RED ARMY.

RUSSIAN 50-PM 40

The model is right on the side 52-M-822

Too bad the cut big holes in it to deactivate it.

Very nice piece! How in the heck are you coming up with all these cool Soviet weapons??!? It's sooooooo unfair!

Just lucky I guess.

I saw one on a dealer site for around 1500

Would 1100-1200 be reasonable?

I have no idea, hopefully someone else will chime in on the value. I know these weren't the most popular mortars but considering it's dated 1939 and saw use from Finland to Poland to the German invasion I'd think that would be a resonable value.
