U.S. PSCM Co M1 81mm Mortar, Class III/NFA Destructive Device - Serial no. 27582, 81 mm cal., 45 inch round bbl., green finish. Introduced in 1935 and based on
the French “Brandt” mortar, the M1 was
a primary indirect-fire infantry weapon through World War II and into the 1950s. The M1 operates on similar principles to the WWI Stokes Mortar, where rounds are muzzle loaded and allowed to drop on a fixed firing pin, a setup that is extremely robust, highly effective, and permits an impressive rate of fire. The main tube
and endcap are finished in green, with the endcap bearing the maker’s marks and serial number. The baseplate
and bipod are also finished in green, with the bipod bearing a brass E.B.
Co. data plate on the windage adjustment mechanism and fitted with an M4 sight.
CONDITION: Very good,
with traces of green paint finish concentrated on the endcap, with
a mixed patina
Estimate: 9,500 - 15,000
overall, patches of shallow
pitting on the tube and some grind/
polishing marks on the endcap. The bipod and
baseplate show mild wear and tear, with the
M4 sight damaged. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This Destructive Device is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479, National Firearms Act.

LOT 398
Soviet Russian RM-40 50mm Infantry Mortar, Class III/NFA Destructive Device - Serial no. N465, 2 inch cal., 23 inch round bbl., green
finish. A man-portable infantry mortar in the pattern of the Stokes Mortar, the RM-40 was designed to use gas venting instead of angle
of fire to control range; while this gave the advantage of being able to fire through tighter apertures, it also introduced greater mechanical complexity to
the mortar, and was abandoned in later models. The main tube is fitted with a gas restriction collar at the base and a leather handgrip just below the folding bipod. The
bipod is fitted with a shock
absorber assembly, adjustments
for traversing the mortar and
leveling the legs, and a mounting point for a sight
(not included), and marked “1940”. The baseplate is
spiked on the bottom.
CONDITION: Fine, with 70% of the reapplied
green paint finish, showing areas of uneven
application, flaking and wear. Both the bipod and the
gas regulation mechanism are in fine order. NOTE: This Destructive Device is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479, National Firearms Act.
Estimate: 2,000 - 3,000
