Small bomb identification?

Hello all,
Can anyone give me any information regarding a small bomb which I've recently purchsed.
It's described as a German 1Kg SDI bomb with a type A313 fuze. I can't photograph it at the moment as I'm in hospital having had a leg amputated.
The dimensions I've managed to obtain are, (approx);
Length without fuze..........................14 Cms.
Length with fuze...............................17 Cms.
Diameter of body at widest point.........5 Cms.
Fins Diameter also............................ 5 Cms.
Fuze length OA..................................4 Cms.
I would appreciate any info on this one. At present BOCN is great therapy as it takes my mind of the missing limb discomfort!
Best regards, and thanks,
navyman.
 
I think SD1 with Az73 fuze
Thanks munfrosch,
I have looked more closely at the damaged fuze and can make out; ?Z 73 A2, and CM so it looks like an Az73, do you have a drawing, diagram, or section picture of fuze and or bomb.
Cheers,
navyman
