  • Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert per guidelines provided by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) this is a very nice 1943 dated example of an Inert Round for the British British Ordnance SBML Two-Inch Mortar. The propellant and explosive charge have been removed and the fuse deactivated, making this totally inert, and unable to be converted into an explosive device. NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.


    This example is in very good condition, and all of the major components are marked and dated. The top does not have a cap and is empty. Additionally, the side of the main housing is marked and dated as well:


    ILLG WITH
    PARACHUTE
    IFS MAY 43
    LOT 281


    It is also marked on the finned bottom with BDC 5 42 Z and also several acceptance stamps, for a manufacture date of May 1942. All of the original green finish is present. However the type of fuse definitely indicates that it would have been the standard HE type. The fuze cap is intact and dated 1941. All that is missing is the fuse lifting charge and the cap.


    This is In great condition, with lots of markings, ready to display!
