Sd50

[waffenamt]

Hi everyone,
Here are a few shots of my latest acquisition.
I got it from the Ben-meister's stall and it cost a 'bomb' but worth it in my eyes.

Comes with a fuze,locking rings and the baseplate totally strips off.
Totally inert of course!
I shall be applying some talc or chalk soon to bring out the stamps a little more and will show pics asap.

Ive picked up a nice type 55 from show to go in the case as i believe they were used rather than a 25?

can anyone please confirm?

love the pic of 25 in first post!
i have disposed 9 german wwii UXBs 50-500 kilo during past 2 years in bosnia and herzegovina, and only last one sc50 was equipped with 25, while all others had 55.

i hope this is valuable info for you.

Thanks al,saad
I always appreciate info,do you have a 25 in your collection?

i have not no german bomb fuses as i don't burn from desire to defuse a bomb and disassemble a fuse. but i have photos

Thats a factory condition bomb which needs very little which is why you spent good money but still well within reasonable amounts:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Cheers bud,
I dont think it would have been there at the end of the week. Yeah cost a lot but all us ord fans that saw it said it was well worth it.
I just need some bloody fins for it now.....:neutral:

well i was mostly interested in rusian, amercan and other artilery fuses and their yugoslav copies.
also it is very hard to find german fuses separately from bomb around here

Well i managed to find some of the old talcum powder today and covered the SD to highlight some of the markings.
looks like a 1939 issue case to me?
The waff stamps come up lovely too.

What fuze should i display in this case if it is 1939,of which im now convinced with closer inspection.

Where are these stalls! I must keep missing them or I am going to the wrong shows or something! I am looking for nice conditioned German Bomb to restore.

Hi Rockteer,
Its just a case of good old foot slogging around the shows and it does eventually pay off!
