Description
This is an original World War II-era U.S. M49A2 60mm mortar round, professionally deactivated and completely inert for display or educational purposes. The M49A2 was a high-explosive round used in the M2 60mm light mortar, a standard support weapon issued to U.S. infantry units throughout the Second World War.
The round retains its classic pointed steel body and fin assembly, showcasing the distinctive streamlined shape designed for aerodynamic stability during launch. This example features original wartime manufacturing markings, and the fin assembly is complete with all blades intact—often missing or damaged on surviving examples.
Painted in its correct wartime olive drab color with remnants of original yellow stencil markings, this piece is a fine representative of mid-war American ordnance. The fuse and explosive charge have been professionally removed and rendered completely safe, making it a legal and safe collectible.
Ideal for collectors of WWII ordnance, historical educators, or museum display, this M49A2 round is a rare and authentic artifact from the U.S. Army’s arsenal of the Second World War.
