The reproduction hawkins mine is a well built training device. it looks like it should and it has some weight to it. It is just like the real thing except it is inert. It has the tabs to connect the wires to and it is painted and detailed like the real thing. I' give this 10 stars if I could.

I was reviewing the comments and there are a couple customers that state the back is wrong. They are wrong. This is clearly a Mark II model. The Mark I had the inverted "V" on the back plate and used the two piece fuse that the "V" crushed when run over. This repro is the Mark II which used a different one piece fuse. The fuse had a striker sticking out the top and when the plate was crushed, the plate pushed down on the striker which in turn broke the internal acid vial which set off the primer and blasting cap. If you doubt me, check Dave Gordon''s book "Weapons of the WWII Tommy" pages 470-473. This repro is perfect. I have three!
