The Laatikkomiina M/43 is very similar to the earlier German Schützenmine 42 and especially the Soviet PMD-6. It consists of a wooden box with a hinged lid that contains a small explosive charge. When the lid is pressed down it dislodges a pin in the fuse and allows the firing pin to hit the detonator. The name penaali, meaning pen box, was quickly applied to these types of mines since they closely resembled the boxes commonly used for storing pens in Finland.
