Question for premium militaria WW1 bomb

[dano1917]

I have a question about a WW1 German air dropped bomb for Premium Militaria or anyone for that matter. On gunbroker there is a WW1 German air dropped bomb.

I am unfamiliar on German WW1 air dropped bombs for the most part, and I guess I am basicly looking for pertinent information regarding this one. About all I know about it is it looks awesome. Thanx..Dano

Hi kz11gr, I kind of had some doubt about country of origin but again I know very little about air dropped bombs. Do you have a guess as to which nationality it may be. Is it WW1? Dano
P.S. I am not trying to step on anyones toes here, but just seeking information and education..D

Hi Waff, Yes i'm leaning toward French WW1 practice bomb, hence no fuze. It is a fine looking bomb but I really want a German one because German WW1 ordnance is my main area of interest. Thanx for the input, greatly appreciated...Dano

Well Dano, so you are interesting in german ordnance of WW 1. I'm busy to prepare a pdf document with all the documentation I have about the German WW 1 bombs. Ifyou are interested, send me a PM because I don't think I shall can post it on BOCN, too big.
Attention, all the text is in french but they are some drawings an pictures with cotations.

Hello Yoda, just joined and saw your post whilst browsing.

I would be interested in the WW1 German Ordnance pdf you were putting together in 2010. Does it contain any data on what was carried by Zeppelins?

I recently picked up http://www.amazon.co.uk/German-Air-...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1330044389&sr=1-1 which had a short section (9 pages) on WW1 bombs, its coverage is pretty good for WW2 to.
