mortars ID

**feldgrau33** · 03-28-2014, 04:37 PM

Some months ago i purchased these mortars shell in the local flea market. And im still confused with the ID of these mortars.

The marking stamp (arrow B with number 1951 and 19)

The color probability based from the remain of the paints on the shell

-----

The marking stamp (v937 on the hull and v977 on the body of the fins)

The color probability if we followed the 1st mortar

The height comparison with my other mortar shell (british made?)

So is there anyone know from what country these mortars is? And the caliber also when they're made?
Thank you.

I am far from an expert. But the one on the far left looks Japanese. The other two may be british????

Hmm interesting, thank you.

And i never thought it's converted into table lamp. I thought it's just for decorative purpose only.

Thank you again gents.

The first one, which looks to be an 81mm round, initially looked a bit Chinese to me, based on the look of the fin. But the B and arrow logo is unmistakable...it's the symbol of the Swedish Bofors firm. Like a lot of companies, they exported ammunition to lots of countries over the years. Perhaps Indonesia was among them.
