Hello

I've found a german bomb tail.
Metal : aluminium (or magnesium).

the tail can be seen on these pictures.

My question :
Do these differents bombs have the same tail ?

thank you for your answers

I have just had a quick look through a book and nothing definate but dimensions look similar to the SD1000 (although there appear similar dimensions on some SD500 types)
I am sure someone will have more detailed info on tail fins than I have, and will be interested to see the final verdict. I think the clue will be in where the holes are located on the fins and number etc.

Just thinking aloud here
