Help needed identifying rocket/mortar

[muckman]

I recently picked up this item at a boot sale in France, could anyone out there help me identify it please. Thanks

No idea what nationality or weapon it is from (sort of looks German to me), but I would guess that it is a smoke dispensing mortar bomb judging by the hole in the body.

It unscrews into 3 sections, I don't know if that helps with identification.

Going from the ruler it's only about 30mm, perhaps a sub calibre mortar training round?...

[muckman]

It is 30mm at its widest point gunny

Maybe it`s a bomblet from a type of cluster bomb...just a guess....Pete.

Thanks zwerge, I've been trying to look for mortar rounds and rockets I hadn't thought of bomblets

[zwerge]

It`s possible what you have is a Russian 37mm mortar round for their spade mortar.

Thanks zwerge it looks very similar, my one is only 30mm though. Would they use a smaller round in them for training etc?

It is a 30mm French sub calibre mortar training round "LOSFELD", for all calibre mortar used by the French army.
