Teller Mines Hard to Find
Very Hard to find and I have only found a few places where you can buy Replicas or you can make them yourself.
If you find another place to purchase please post up

Re: Teller Mines Hard to Find
Herr Repper ,
Were they above ground then ? What are the regulations for finding this sort of thing in Finland ? Report it and then controlled explosion by the army ? How much of this stuff is there still around in in Finland ? Forgive me for asking , the Winter war '39 -40 and the subsequent Finnish/German conflict against the Soviets has always been a big interest for me - sorry if this is off topic

Not Tellermines, but equally scarce: the 1kg and 3kg charges:

Re: Teller Mines Hard to Find
Theres a Guy in the UK that makes them. I have one round here somwhere.
Re: Teller Mines Hard to Find
For 1kg charges, the dimensions are as follows (memory serving):
50mm x 75mm x 200mm
I found some rectangular metal tubing at our local steel supplier that is 2" x 3" - which translates into 50mm x 76mm. Cut them down to lengths of 200mm, cap them with tin or cardboard, and you have a simple yet effective pouch-filler for the assault pouches. It will obviously not stand up to close-range inspection... but if your section does controlled pyro displays for the public/airsoft/whatever, these metal sections are a cheap way of getting lookalike charges.

Re: Teller Mines Hard to Find
Completely raw section, 2" x 3" x 200mm, sized next to a MP40 for perspective:
With caps on and a coat of light gray (to simulate the zinc shell of the charge - or did they come in different colours too?), it could do the job passably well. I'm still trying to source some smoke powder for mine, heard that the rocketry guys can be a good source of 'legal' compounds. Not sure whether that holds outside ZA though...

Re: Teller Mines Hard to Find
Finally got around to welding up the 2"x3" sections as 1kg charges:
Each charge holds a smoke grenade (for our purposes), which has a circumference roughly the same size as the inner cardboard roll from a roll of toilet paper. They still need to be capped with cardboard to hide the inner workings - visible here - and then a coat of paint, but I thought I would share in the meantime.
Also, something interesting: the pouch displayed is the left-hand one, and each of the cells can comfortably take two charges, giving you a total of four charges in that one pouch. Was this the norm? I seem to recall reading that each cell was meant to carry only a single 1kg charge - yet this two-by-two way of carry seems far more secure (less movement).
