British Practice 1Kg Incendiary Bomb.

Original, wartime all steel, dummy or practice German 1kg B1E incendiary bomb. This accurate representation of the bomb is stamped to the outside ' INERT CAR 329 EOD ' which is common to the other examples I have handled over the years. It is surmised that they were produced by the RAF EOD unit based at Cardington for realistic training and it is assumed they would contain a replaceable pyrotechnic element which would simulate ignition or just weighted. Some examples examined have a sheet steel closure which appears to be missing from this example, otherwise in good, clean condition. Uncommon.
