Unidentified

[Investment]

Hi,
This bomb has suspension lugs for both American (two) and British (one) use. The tail fin looks like it is British and the nose fuze looks like it is American, but might be British or is it the other way around. If possible, could someone in the know please identify it? It is located in the Grand Bunker at Ouistreham, France.
Many thanks,
Invest

Actuly the fuze in the front is the arming vane of the M-110 series and M 110 series, since these are tail fuzes it is a bit strange to put it in the nose.

according to the American Bombs and Fuzes Manual from US Navy Bomb disposal school Washington The AN-M- 110 A1 is a nose fuze with an arming time of 340 vane revolutions overall length is 3-5/8 with booster and is a mechanical impact

Hello! I was 2002 with KMBD Stuttgart to guest, I could in the bunkers also bombs photograph under it was also one which resembles the shown. The ammunition technicians could not at that time say which for a type of bomb it concern! Also the fuzes were distant at the bomb. I cannot imagine it around a US bomb act. The suffering work with ring does not give it with the Amys! Also a 100er fuze is no nose fuze separates tail fuzes. Are times strained which with the thing comes out.

Sorry fuzeman I meant the 100 series tail fuze.
