Hi all, I am trying to find details of a particular item. I assume it to be 50kg air dropped similar to a FAB 50 or an SC50 however the tail is unusual with the round bar at the end. Apologies for the quality of the image, the item is approximately 1m long and 250mm dia

Thanks all

Hum, I think you should must look after documentation about the French bombs 50 kg GA. They are very similar !

Thanks Yoda, have had a nosey but the nose fuze suggests its otherwise. Wonder if its a copy of another hence the lack of info anywhere. I must have looked at nearly all types of 50kg bomb out there...
 
This is a Swedish 50kg M37 Minbomb. what can be seen is not a nose fuze pocket but the emplacement of the nose attachment hook for vertical dropping.The shape of rear part of the fins and the reinforcing circles are typical of Swedish bombs.
Where has this photo been taken?
