Mine, Magnetic, Mk III, Clam, 1944
€750.00
Tax included
Rare genuine WWII British Mk III magnetic mine, also known as the 'Clam mine'.
Intended for sabotage purposes, this small time bomb was made up of a black bakelite box fitted with a magnet at each end, designed for containing an 8-oz TNT charge which was to be detonated with a time pencil or an L delay switch -- none of the latter being included in the present offer.
Based on the larger Limet mine, which was intended for being placed on ship's hulls, this compact design bomb was mostly used by the Special Operations Executive and various Resistance movements in German-occupied Europe.
Dated August 1944.
Deactivated, empty and totally inert.
