Italian VS-50 Anti-Personel Mine

Hi all, just back from the monthly gun show and picked up a nice Italian VS-50 AP mine for my collection. This apparently, is a Royal Canadian Military Engineers vet bring-back from Afghanistan and is completely inert. There are no marks on this mine, nothing to indicate type or place of origin. I've found some info on-line here: http://www.lexpev.nl/minesandcharges/europe/italy/vs50antipersonnel.html

I assume that there was some type of dispersal equipment to plant these. Enjoy the pictures.

Greg
