Scarce Vintage British 3 Inch Inert Mortar Shell on Stand

This is a lovely display piece an inert 3 inch mortar shell with transit fuse on a purpose made stand, it has a series of marks around the neck including BE 3 MK 2 and TV23.05, as far as I can work out the MK2 mortar came into use in the mid 1930’s and was used through the war and beyond including use with the parachute regiment for illuminating purposes, gas laying and shelling. This example has been over painted with green and black for display purposes and is on a wooden display stand. It measures 14 inches long and is very heavy, shipping will be to UK mainland only.
