Original U.S. WWII INERT 81mm M43A1 HE Mortar Round with M52 PD Fuze & Original Yellow Paint- Dated 1941 & 1942

Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert and demilitarized according to BATF guidelines with hollow body and inert fuse. This mortar round cannot be converted to an explosive device and is not available for export. This is a totally genuine United States military WWII produced SHELL, M43A1, with an inert aluminum fuze. The fuse base unscrews to allow the explosive chamber to be inspected. The fuze is marked as being an P.D.F.-M52 point detonating fuze and is dated 10-42 at the end of the bottom line of markings. The internals of the fuze have been removed, so it no longer has the spring loaded "button" on the top. The body still retains most of the yellow paint, designating it as a "High Explosive" round, and it shows some great patination on the exposed areas. The original stamped markings are still visible, giving a lot number and 41. date, followed by the correct 81MM 43A1 designation. There are no markings on the tail assembly, which is still able to be removed from the bod
