cartridge help

butterfly

HONOURED MEMBER RIP
This item came with a group of items I bought recently........anyone any ideas?

The diameter appears to be 29mm (my thoughts are that it may be a 29mm spigot cartridge, but having never seen one before I have no idea, I am simply guessing as other items sold in seperate lots by the same seller included home guard items?- I cannot assume anything of course!!)

There appears to be stencilling on the base and the neck is clearly distorted.


all help appreciated Kev

from the same lot was this safety pin. I presume that the label is correct and that it is indeed from a Sticky bomb?

Hi Kev the following images are of 29mm cartridges i used to find when clearing a range where blackers and flying dustbins had been disposed of,
If i remember correctly the same type is used with both the blacker bombard and flying dustbin (bomb demolition No1),
