Hello,
Found this in the piles of kit I'll be selling soon.

Not sure on it's origin, but it's a carrier set for an 8cm (ish) mortar.
1 piece carries the tube, 1 the legs, and one is a big pad for the base plate.
Looks very Germanic, leather straps, applegreen ish paint etc. Think i tried it with the groups deac 8cm and looked to fit.

Not seen one before or since. If anyone can clarify most interested.

You may get a clue from some of the leather straps.

Given the number of them, I'd be surprised if none had any maker marking or other similar stamping embossed somewhere.
(Look close to buckles & strap ends)
