INERT German 1kg B1E Incendiary Bomb.

The standard German 1kg incendiary bomb dropped on the UK in profusion and the baine of the Civil Defence services. Filled with thermite and made from electron magnesium and intiated by an impact fuze, the I.B. burnt with a fierce heat and intense white light.
This example was recently discovered in a shed near Diss in Norfolk and has clearly worked as intended and probably extinguished before the whole body was consumed. Bomb now in two pieces with clear evidence of ignition but now heavily oxidised with only a small amount of original paint to tail fins and markings just about visible to nose. Original wartime souvenir with provenance.
