Can anyone identify this item?
It’s obviously a projectile that has been modified as a bomb, but is it a trench art item or was this carried out to change the means of delivery?
I didn’t have time to take measurements or find a scale, but it looked to be about 105mm in Calibre.
Hmm, strange bomb, all the aerial bomb I have doc (principally French and Russian), based on an artillery shell have the fins fixed on the bottom of the shell.
The normal fuze hole of the shell receiving a bomb fuze.

I do not know about French bombs, but on Soviet (exactly Sviet, not Russian) copper rings took out from shell body. But here everything on shell. It looks very strange. Copper is a valuable material.
