Glass insulator for hanging high voltage cables from in electricity masts.
It returns in ammo forums about every five years with people claiming it's a glass mine, but it's not.
Regards, DJH
I have seen similar glass objects filled with explosives and used in industrial mining to break a jammed drill bit in a borehole and to "perforate"
The charges were with a cumulative insert and without an insert on the body had a groove for detonation cord.
There will definitely be a sample of such material somewhere on the net.
Akon.
A lot of them where found in A place called Hoog Soeren in the Netherlands.
The Germans had a big ammunition stores there and it was transported from there to a few different countries in Europa.
It has the same colour as an insulator. I went to the Dutch electrical museum with it and they tolded me the have never seen an insulator with a lit.
This was about 20 years ago.

Hi Chris
Also about 20 years ago I met such a charge in two slightly different designs. There was explosive and a cumulative liner in each inside. According to the "Detex" kit (kits for determining the type of explosives with swabs and dripping reagents), it was a mixture of Pentrit. The cumulative insert was copper. The body of the charge was two-piece glued with glue that could not be disassembled without damaging the body of the charge.
I obtained a sample from the field of geological survey by drilling.
