I don't have dimensions. But it seems to be on the reduced scale of a British model aviation bomb. If you have an opinion or something else.

British 2000lb AP.
Where did you find that? - This bomb was not frequently used and it was already considered as obsolete by end 1941, though sporadically seen after that date, mainly in anti shipping role.

Is this a fake item?
See the shape of the nose, the complete size compared with the soil where it is laying on and the wrong colour. Body should be dark green with the nose a lighter green. Also the marking are not correct.

It's not fake. From the information I have left, it appears to be a scale model of a British model aviation bomb. Possible TEST in the past...
