Can any one ID this bomb fins for me

British , anything from 250lb up to 1000lb depending on the dimensions.
The designation is often stamped on one of the fins.

cheers

On British bombs, the bomb designation and tail number are stamped on one of the fins . For instance, for a tail unit No2 Mk1 mounted on a 500lbs GP bomb MkIV, the stamping will be No2.1, G.P. 500-lb. IV
 
Thanks for the info, it is likely a anti-submarine bomb but the costal command were guarding the convoys in the war from the island
I will check if I can find the stamp on the fins.
Best regards

Ww2 period Antisubmarine bombs with a tail fuse, and a tail compatible to the one you got, can be the 100kg AS Mk IV (Tail No7 MkI) or VI (Tail No 56 MkI), the 250lbs AS MkIV (tail No8 MkI) or the 500lbs MkIV (Tail No9 Mk1).
