I got this one recenty, they seem to be quite hard to find, looks like you EOD guys keep blowing them up.
Way different from my usual line of collecting but I like it anyway.
I was surprised how big it was when it arrived - see can of beans for scale, and by the look of the diagrams in this excellent thread it seems to be the small one!
All inert/unscrews/no cartridge in it etc.

Nice item Dave, and an HE one too by the looks of it. I have a practice one filled with cement and yes, they are big heavy beasts !
