possible german 250kg bomb

As I see this bomb's nose sharper than German 250kg bomb's nose. And the fins also different than the German ones.

It certainly seems more pointed than a 250kg but that could be the suspension lug still in place.

and the tails are damaged but do look 250:wink:

I agree here,however this particular one could be a slight variant for 'bunker busting' (hence sharper nose?)

Hi Al'Saad,

why did they write 100 kg in the commentar ? When you have them, send us the dimensions.

I'm not sure looking the pics, but I think more on a russian BRAB 220. We must wait on more details : fuzing, dimensions,...

A good side view would be nice, and some idea of the lifting lug(s) could tell a lot as well.
 
Yoda, images and comment are published on a local web portal, and taken and written by an amateur journalist.
I will do the survey day after tomorrow and then i will provide more detailed information.
Anyway I did some homework last night searching my library and found these pieces of information:
-city Prozor where bomb is found was during WWII included in puppet state 'Neovisna Drzava Hrvatska' and was in Italian zone of interest.
-during WWII Tito's Partisans were taking Prozor 3 times from occupant.
-Prozor was heavily aerial bombed in 2 periods during 1942 and 1943 (i didn't figured out by who)
-historically there is no evidence of any force using Russian bombs bombing Prozor.
 
OK Al'Saad, thanks for historical details.
We wait your technical information.
Good work.
