INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a rare and original German 50kg concrete type 1 practice bomb. The bomb casing is made out of fine concrete and is fitted with a pressed steel tail fin assembly, a bomb shackle and a fuze pocket. There are 2 rectangular side windows in the side of the body which is hollow inside. The pockets were originally covered by a piece of wood and the bomb still retains the 2 glass ampoules (damaged) on each side which originally held chlorosulphuric acid or foaming hydrochloric acid which produced smoke when the ampule was broken on impact for bombing marking. The bomb casing retains some of its original green painted finish near the fuze pocket and is stencilled in black ehk ?31. The bomb is fitted with a ELAZ 25D fuze which is stamped round the top ELAZ 25 D bl c 4d. See page 62, Army Technical manual TM 9-1985-2/Air Force Technical Order TO 39B-1A-9 GERMAN EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE (Bombs, Fuzes, Rockets, Land Mines, Grenades & Igniters). No licence is required to possess this inert fuse in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Because of the weight (50kg) delivery is at cost and by arrangement. Sn 22426:68
