IrishGunner Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I guess I've been reading too much Boonzaier... I've decided to add a couple Minenwerfer items to my collection. Any special Minenwerfer units I should look for? Or is one mortarman like any other? My current default is to look for a unit in a particular battle...although I haven't decided which one.
E Williams Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 It just so happens that I know where a Minenwerfer unit marked Imperial Artillery Luger, complete rig including original shoulder stock is. Interested????

Interested???? While I am sure that's a fantastic item, I'm not a rich single man like you Ed. I think my wife would prefer I stick to a photo...
E Williams Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 It's just being single that matters because, I'm not rich but all my lady friends are. I have seen quite a few minenwerfer postcards lately.
Chip Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Light Minenwerfer photos are the most common by far, as it was added to the compliment of the infantry regiment. Before that, all units had been from the pioneer branch. You might want to search for photos of the two larger caliber versions. Chip
IrishGunner Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Light Minenwerfer photos are the most common by far, as it was added to the compliment of the infantry regiment. Before that, all units had been from the pioneer branch. You might want to search for photos of the two larger caliber versions. Chip Took your advice and scored this one just before Christmas... Appears to be training on the 17cm mittlerer Minenwerfer. On the reverse is written: "Ladehemmung eines mittleren Minenwerfers" If it really was a misfire, I think they wouldn't be taking pictures; thus, my conclusion it's training. Note the guy with the leather sleeve standing on the right.
Marcin L Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) That's what I have, is that a minenwerfer or are they just setting up a mousetrap? The picture is signed "No. 119" on the back. May be the 119 minenwerfer kompagnie? By the way - check out this interesting list and article, it may be sometime helpful: http://www.grensland-docs.nl/brondocumenten/minenwerfer-kompagnien-1914-1918/ http://www.grensland-docs.nl/brondocumenten/formationsgeschichte-minenwerfer-1914-1918/ Edited January 12, 2014 by Marcin L
