Who can identify this ICE MINE.

It is different than the normal version from Germany or Finland.
The seam in the length of the bottle is on two sides.
The bottleneck with the screw-thread is different than the FlaschenEismine 42 from Germany or the Jäämiina m/41 from Finland.

Max. diameter: 95 mm (3.74 inch)
Diameter bottleneck at the screw-thread: 45 mm (1.77 inch)
Diameter bottleneck at edge: 48 mm (1.88) inch)
Total length: 260 mm (10.23 inch)

Hello,

I think it's not a Flascheneismine but a Brandflasche (kind of incendiary grenade). But I have no docs to confirm.

Regards,

S.
 
I did not chech the dimensions, but Finnish ice mines exist also without SA and P markings.
 
This is NOT a Brandflache I am 100% certain. I have had several of these. I have also had one of these mines and it is without doubt the Finnish Ice Mine WW2.
 
Thanks for the info. I will keep it on a Finnish version.

Greetings - Antoon
