<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 335829, member: 54"]Measure across opposite fins, will be either 60mm or 81mm because the less shiny part is a set of mortar shell tail fins. Little tabs help hold the increment charges. Mortar shells come with little bags of propellant held on by the tabs, between the fins for the maximum range of the mortar but the gunner removes and discards all not needed to reach his target. The shiny nose was made up by someone to make the fantasy item or trench art. The original fin assembly is certainly aluminum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
