Picked up at the weekend this what i beleive to be an Russian AZh-2 model 1937 incendiary. Been doing my home work and as well as an air dropped weapon they could be fired by the Ampulomet. They were filled with a liquid made from kerosene, white phosphorus and stearic acid to act as a thickener and were designed to split on impact along the seams. Most info i can find is in Russian which looks pretty but i cant read it so if anyone has any more info they can add it would be much appreciated. Cheers Mick.
