I am puzzled (and apparently I am not alone in this) by this ww2 period bomb, constantly defined as an incendiary bomb, that keeps reappearing in various collections in Scandinavia - but apparently a model was also present in a EOD school in Italy in the afterwar. Some photographs were posted a long time ago in this forum, but without conclusion.
The tail is totally different of the known German incendiary bombs. But maybe it is not German.
The last "apparition" is a sample in Finland, at the ilmatorjuntamuseo in Tuusula near Helsinki and has slight differences (in paricular in the tail conus - here a nose fuze seems to replace the tail fuze) from the 2 other ones:
This one comes from Norway and is currently displayed in the "digitalmuseum" site with the mention: origin - United Kingdom "sure"

The third series of photograghs comes from this forum - unprecised location origin but apparently a Dutch cllection.
Who can identify?
