41A and Charge

**satan18** · 7th July 2010, 07:44 PM

Hear is another 41a Butterfly bomb with a lot of pits or are they rough casting marks as there is still a fair amount of paint remaining.

No signs of any stampings but the fuse fits a treat.

Very nice body and fuze there Phil.

Think you could be right maybe just a rough casting, from the photos the paint looks original enough.

would be nice to see some pics of the markings too!!

Hi Kev

I cant find not even a trace of any markings and normally there were some
at least on the ends.

I have done a tracing paper rubbing just in case but nothing.

Sorry Phil, just re-read your original post and you said no markings.

Still, a very nice body and fuze as well always nice to see.

Does it have the hole in the base on this one??

Who knows bud but i do have others which are realy faintly stamped,
unlike the screw in type charge where they were almost cast into the steel.

Hi Phil,

I agree, I have a bayonet body that just had Bk on the side nothing else, very faint too!!

Nice to find a decent one without the hole in the bottom!! Good find Phil.

regards Kev
