I don't think I've seen anything like it before. I've got several variations of the US 4lb and the UK 4lb, and none of mine have the tapered nose or base. Who do you suspect made it?

Seen a German 1kg IB with a pointed nose - may even be on here - suggestions were everything from it being a fake to an experimental test version that was never developed.

The seller refers to
"See pages 60, 61 and 88 in the reference book ‘BOMBS GONE, The development and use of British air-dropped weapons from 1912 to the present day’ by Wing Commander John A, MacBean and Major Arthur S. Hogben"
Does anyone have a copy they can check?

The referenced pages, top pg 60 seems to shine a bit of light on this.
