Looks like a normal German S mine 35 lid to me , the screws are quite badly damaged look like someone had fun trying to open them up , You are also missing the outer case of the mine that this would sit in thats why the lid looks to large
Andy is correct. Compare with my complete example.
Cheers, Ade.

On the subject of S- Mines, I came across this rather erm "salty" example at a flea market in Poland. I would have brought it but in my opinion it was a little too heavy to be empty But I dont know much about these.
Andy, mine, you don't have the outside part, in english?the pot?
These are full of ball bearings and they are heavy even when inert.
Here is a nice wartime cutaway drawing of one: done by a British officer, Capt. Norman Munn, who's items I have in my collection. He went on a mine clearance course and I have all his notes and stetches.
Cheers, Ade.

Ah, I see, could well have been inert then. Nonetheless, I don't think customs would have appreciated seeing it through the X- Ray. Cheers.
Great S mine, I have been meaning to add one to my collection for a while. Would any of you kind gentlemen be able to recommend a site that sells such items
many thanks
Robin
I'll try to show what I mean with a skech. It's the sloping edge of the lid I'm thinking about.
