Original U.S. WWII Type 81mm M1 Mortar Bipod Assembly

Item Description

Original Item: Very Few Available. The M1 81mm mortar was the largest weapon in the arsenal of the U.S. WWII infantry battalion. It provided the battalion commander with a powerful and flexible indirect fire capability. Sometimes called "infantry artillery," or "hip pocket artillery," mortars were capable of quickly laying down heavy barrages. These could stop enemy attacks under the worst conditions. Able to fire at high angles, mortars could fire at targets in defilade, either under direction of a forward observer, or firing off map coordinates. In the WW2 Pacific campaigns, these weapons became an important part of the battalion's firepower, especially since they could be man-packed into positions that were inaccessible to artillery.

Just found in a recent warehouse re-organization, these are original WWII type bipods for the 81mm M1 Mortar. These are of post war manufacture, but are identical to the WWII design. These are functional by may require cleaning and servicing. They usually have data plates in Spanish, as these were supplied to various nations once obsolete.

Note: Mortar BIPOD ONLY.
