I have several tails for the German 250 and 500 kg bombs, i have the steel tail with 4 fins, but i have also the tails that has the ring around the fins, also made out of steel, can somebody tell me on what type of bomb the tails with the ring comes? regards Ben
 
Had a quick view in 'Deutsche Abwurfmunition bis 1945' by W.Fleischer and found SC-500, all kinds of SD-500, PC-500 E & L, PD-500, SC-1000 L & L2, PC-1000, PC-1400, PC-1600, 1700 & 1800, SB-2500.
 
Ok, thank you other question, is it possibel that some tails are welded to the body, is the tail that they have been using the same as the tail that they screw on the body? i have got some 250 and 500 kg bombs but without the holes for the screws, tail is missing
 
Sorry, Ben, you know that's not my special field, but I could come up with some scans out of that source via pm if this might help (next year! :xd:).
