WW1 Imperial German Priest Granatenwerfer 16 Mortar Round INERT

The WW1 Imperial German Priest Granatenwerfer 16 Mortar Round INERT is an original example of ordnance used by German forces during the First World War. Designed for the Granatenwerfer 16, also known as the Priest mortar, this round represents one of the early forms of portable infantry mortars employed in trench warfare. The inert status of this item means it has been rendered non-functional and contains no explosive material. The round typically features a cylindrical steel body with internal and external fragmentation elements, a pointed nose, and tail fins to ensure stable flight. Its compact size made it suitable for close infantry support, allowing troops to deliver explosive payloads into enemy trenches and defensive positions. The Granatenwerfer 16 and its ammunition provided the German Army with effective indirect fire capability on the Western Front. This mortar round is a significant example of early 20th-century military engineering and artillery development. ***** SHIPPING WITHIN CANADA ONLY *****
