Ok maybe my John Angles ™ were too hard, too.. authentic. I now reveal the entire object in question which should take milliseconds to figure out.

Oh, for pity’s sake. I’ve been looking at all those German trench mortars, based on the wheel bit you showed, but never found a pic that showed the traversing gear!

Well done, John Angles™ indeed!

Yup you got it, naturally. Don’t suppose you know the size? The plaque (which is hard to see in the first pic and cropped from second) tells me that. I’ll put up the full plaque text later.

25cm “Schweres Minenwerfer” German, WWI.

And, of course, now that I don’t need it, I find the picture I was looking for – of a mortar at the AWM in Canberra, no less.

Yup that’s it. I’ll put up the plaque text now.
