Original U.S. Model M2 60 mm mortar complete with original baseplate, and beautiful bipod. Employed at the Company level, sometimes as a “battery” to be called upon by platoons on missions, and otherwise carried as individual tubes by a mortar team to provide “on-the-spot” tactical fire support. Very useful for dropping smoke to screen from enemy observation and especially for putting high explosive rounds through windows of buildings, or into enemy fighting positions, or over intervening terrain onto targets observed by comrades. A very important weapon on the battlefield. This cataloger can attest that one’s heart lifts with excitement and elan when one hears our own support mortars fired at the bad guys. A definite tactical advantage. Quick use of the mortar for direct fire on the battlefield provided tactical advantage. This is an Amnesty registered piece with an IRS number and "Unknown" manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fair. Overall appearance and finish fair to good, mostly bare gray metal and brown patina with some finish remaining. Baseplate in comparable condition. Bore is very good, turned a brown patina with age. A nice U.S. 60 MM Mortar registered live and ready to take to the range. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS A DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE. JWK 2020-05-035
