Dummy explosives specimens.

Here are some examples of explosives and wrappers, probably used for sales etc and carried by travellers when visiting mining sites and such like.
The partially unwrapped stick on the left is marked Nobels Hydropruf P3, note also the sticks of gelignite. All contents are inert. Presumably they are pre War, and would have been superseded by PE4 and 808 in service use.
