Original U.S. WW2 Era M69 Training/Practice Cartridge for M2 60mm Mortar-Inert
Original U.S. WW2 Era M69 Training/Practice Cartridge for M2 60mm Mortar-Inert. It measures 9 5/8" Long x 2 3/8" Wide and the Total Weight is 4 lbs 6 oz. These are hard to find WWII Era M69 Training / Practice rounds, as used with the U.S. WWII issue M2 60mm Mortar. This mortar also continued to be used during the Korean war, and into the Vietnam era. The training round itself is a shell with a cast iron body, inert filler, and detachable fin assembly used to train recruits in firing. The cast iron body is reusable and the fin assembly can be replaced if damaged. These were usually refinished and painted almost after every training session, but this one appears to have never been repainted. The fin assembly appears to be without damage and does not have a date stamped into it. COLLECTIBLE WORLD WAR II MEMORABILIA
