GeneralCheese Posted November 5, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2017 Here is something very interesting I picked up recently. It is an SMi-35 antipersonnel landmine, captured with "June 6 1944" and "Normandy Beach" painted on the top. The green color of the mine was used in Western Europe, whereas the tan painted version was used more in the east. Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralCheese Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted November 5, 2017 Now THAT is a beauty! Any background on it? Someone brought home a cool souvenir!! Unfortunately I have no other information, but I will ask the seller. I can only assume whoever brought it back had a special affinity for ordnance, and was probably not on the front line as this thing is hefty - almost 10 pounds.

sundance Posted November 6, 2017 Share #12 Posted November 6, 2017 That is really nice. How can you tell it's inert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCheese Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share #13 Posted November 6, 2017 That is really nice. How can you tell it's inert? The detonators and TNT were all removed. I opened it up and found 4 of the shrapnel pieces left. 2 ball bearings and 2 scrap wire bits. Nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
