This Bomb has been found near to a shooting range in Switzerland. According my documents the Swiss Air force did not had such type in service it is most likely a test/trial Bomb.

In the eraly eighties the Swiss had different trials with free fall bomb from other countrys.
The shape and size of the bomb reminds me of MK 81 Type.

The diameter of the bomb is 20cm, the length as you see it on the picture is approximately 100cm.

Any help woul be appreciated.
