A recent addition, a nice(ish) condition B1 .
1936 body/nose, 1938 tail with marking.
It does have a bit of a bend in the body,and the air holes show some consequent distortion.
Is this normal from being dropped or likely a result of inerting?.the nose also has small signs of burning.

Nice looking incendiary with added character. I have seen several examples of incendiaries bent in this way, I assume as a result of impact on hard ground.
