Original Item: Only One Available. This is a totally original WWII German produced inert Schützenmine 42. It comes complete with wood body and correct bakelite fuse, and measures approximately 5 ¼" x 4" x 2 ⅛". These are very hard to find, and most examples are ones that were never put into use. However, this example is definitely one that saw actual service, and definitely shows signs of service and being buried in the ground. It was possibly never armed properly, but for some reason it was able to be recovered from the ground without detonating. It then had all explosive content removed, and the fuze deactivated per BATF guidelines. NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.

Just like most we have seen this one no longer has any visible markings.

Condition is good but it does show age and weathering, with the finger joints at the corners showing separation. There is also some delamination of the plywood bottom, which would have been the most exposed to moisture. Most of the small nails that hold on the top are still present, though they show oxidation. Still, this is definitely one of the best condition examples we have sever seen!

A great chance to pickup a nice piece of WWII history!
