Glasmine43

[Peter93]

Hi, i´m interested in purchasing a german glasmine and i only have very basic information about it. So i need some help here:

1.- Are there any repros of this item?

2.- I read here about post-war glas discs, how can i recognize the pre-45 ones?

3.- What do you think obout this mine?







Thanks!

I have only seen one like this, and from what i can remember of that example i would say the color and shape of this one looks the same.

The one i saw were only a loose piece (the one with circles)

Looks fine to me.

I like this mine, you need wood sticks to complete it.

Here is a page from the 1958 Picatinny Arsenal dictionary on German ordnance for reference. Let me see if I can post a larger image of the Mine. NH

Here is a larger image. Look up Glasmine 43 on the web and you can see some ebay sales and a few ordnance web site images. NH

Neil Hever thanks for the picture.

RKKAFan, what was the function of the wood sticks?

RKKAFan, what was the function of the wood sticks?

To hold the glass lid on top.

To hold the glass lid on top.

Yes, but what was the purpose of this? A kind of safety to prepare the mine and then take it off?
Or the wood sticks were left holding the lid?

Thanks.
