Hi,
In my friend collection, I find strange one german bomb,
Unfortunately, I don,t have any foto yet.
I make quick only this drawing. Bomb have two fuzes - on front steel made A.Z 13 A, and zink A.Z 73 A2 in "tail" (tail it's lost).
Nose fuze looks painted red, tail fuze with red band.
On body only two holes, not four like in combat version.
Inside only black plastic like in other german Ub projectiles.
Any ideas what is this?
Bomb was buy in Germany two years ago.

Regards.

Hi M,
Its looks like a B1. Its the version with the Steel tiler breaker fuze and the booby trap fuze in the tail-end?
Deffo not training or 'Ub'
The inner filling that looks like plastic could be just that?
cheers
