A screwed up job?
It's corroded but could still be dangerous.
Puzzle by Andro Mathewson & Kate Millar. Part of the Hidden Hazards series.
Accurately identifying isolated components of military ordnance is a critical skill in post-conflict documentation, open-source analysis, and explosive ordnance disposal contexts.
Items are often removed from battlefields by soldiers to be reused, by civilians to sell for scrap metal, or by collectors.
Items removed from their original environment often lack accompanying fragments, markings, or scale references, which makes identification more difficult.
What is this item? (In your answer include the model and the category of the ordnance i.e. Class H Mortar)
