NONFIRIING RUSSIAN 37 MM SPADE MORTAR

*INERT* Non-firing replica of the ingenious Russian 37mm spade mortar. Combination entrenching tool and mortar tube, the spade mortar was developed by the Red Army for use in the Russo-Finnish campaign and meant to be a dual-purpose, portable weapon. Crudely finished in places, just like the originals, the shovel head folds down into a base plate, and there is a firing pin in the tube. The handle contains a rod and hook which can be attached to the barrel to act as a stabilizing leg. Excellent
