US made butterfly bomb

As promised I looked through my notes and have written down the following:-

EGS = Geometric Stamping Company (Ohio)

Not sure where I sourced the information so if someone can confirm would be great.

as for COC , I dont have any information at present.

(excellent example of an M129 by the way - thanks for posting additional picture)

regards Kev

Nice butterfly's Hazord. Interesting to see the variations on the wing cradles and the arming wires, both designs date from pre 1945 although were presumably made after then also.
What types of fuzes do they have?
