Help identifying WW1 9.5lb bomb

[quickdraw364]

Hello all,

Any help identifying this bomb would be gratefully received!

Believed to be a 9.5lb practice bomb, any information would be great.

Many thanks.

A better photo would be nice, but 9lb practice looks about right.

Hi

Thanks for the help!

Here's a few more pictures of the bomb, fairly certain it's supposed to be tail fuzed.

Hello!!! The pictures are not too small, one can anything correctly recognize. Harry

I agree with Harry (I think), you need to leave your pictures in a larger format so that the details can be made out. I generally re-size mine to 12cm at 200 ppi.

I haven't found anything in my docs on the bomb described by Doctor, the page I've posted is the closest I've seen in my references. I'm sure France (Doctor) has better documents, they didn't drop many of these in mid-Michigan.

Its ok, I had to use a French book to identify it.

9lb British bombs had no explosive within but a bag of titanium tetrachloride type mixture at the tail end with a firing pin going through the bomb that bursts the bag on impact.
