Brock's to my knowledge is historically the most important british pyrotechnics company and Commander Brock one of the greatest inventors of a large multitude of devices. [...] Bellifortis.

I was pleased to pick this one up recently, quite a rare find.
At 10 inches long its a bit bigger than most of the flechette type items out there. If anyone else has any anti Zeppelin darts I'd be interested in seeing photos or information about them.
All empty and INERT.
Thanks.
Dave.
