German 1Kg incendiary

This is not my normal area but I was on holidays down in Portsmouth last week and discovered this fine item for an extremely reasonable price. The dealer didn't know what it was and asked me. I don't think he was too pleased when I told him and he realised he lost a few pounds on this one.

It is an early 1Kg with the light AZ8312* fuze. The tail is missing but my good friend Waffy has very kindly sorted that for me already with a good G stamped tail.
The fuze and main body seem to match and both are dated with the G code and all the stamps are very clear.

Hi StielGr,Nice find,made even nicer by the fact you got it a reasonable price,
Regards,
Don,
 
As I said at the start Waffy helped me out with a really nice tail to complete the 1Kg so I thought I better add some pictures to show it off. Once again thank you Waffy.

I did notice that the tail is stenciled "1936" which I have never seen before. Any other examples I have seen are marked with the date code "G".
