Wooh This is indeed a finding. Where did you find this trove?
This is the first real sample I have seen up to now of this series of bombs produced in 1938 for the French Aewronavale - beyond operational trials, my understanding is that most of them (if not all) remained stored in the Toulon Arsenal - fate unknown after Nov 1942.
All details you can furnish will be more than welcome.

This was found in a garden shed of a former eod guy. But he passed away so I can’t provide more info...
