LF - 2" Mortar accessories

[missingsomething]

Well. I recently acquired a 2 inch mortar. I am now looking for accessories to complete the kit. I am also looking for all the manuals and repair drawings that go with it as well.

If you know of anything out there...please drop me a line.

Not got any originol manuals spare but if you just want the info I have the following scanned in.

BAOR Armourers Precis circa 1950
Armourers Precis 1943 (covers all mortars)
2" OML handbook 1960
Illustrated Parts List 2" OML Mk II* 1940
Australian IPL for 2" OML Mk II and 4.2" OML SB 1945

The only DD(E) I have relating to the 2" is the one for the insides of the chest and hinges/fittings and the ones for the early (Bren rod) cleaning brushes.

On a side note...... Anyone know what maker is A.B.L.

Thanks,

Hi Craig
A.B.L. is the ownership mark for the Belgium Army. i'm hopeless at languages so someone will have to tell you the precise meaning but bacause of the two languages used in Belgium (French and Walloon?) it translates to "Army" in one language "Belgium" "Army" in the other language.

A hell of a lot of 2" mortars are ex Belgium, some new made by them (or at least refurbished with lots of Belgium marked parts, others like mine, entirely UK made with crows feet all over them but with "ABL" 51 lightly engraved on the lower barrel. I've always assumed the 51 refered to the calibre in MM rather than the year.
