Original US WWII Dummy Trainer Tellermine 43- The Tellermine 43, a German anti-tank blast mine from World War II, featured a circular steel casing. It served as a simplified iteration of the Tellermine 42, allowing for more straightforward production methods. Germany produced over 3.6 million Tellermine 43s between March 1943 and the war's end.
This specific item is an inert T.Mi.43 training mine crafted by the United States for instructing troops on deactivating live teller mines in occupied Europe. The mine is entirely inert, hollow, and marked with "DUMMY" in yellow paint on the underside. It includes a carrying handle and a removable top that unscrews with a dummy detonator. The original white stenciled markings around the top read: T.-Mi.-Pilz 43 / T.-Mi.-Z42.13A. In excellent condition.
