German 1kg B1E Incendiary bomb - Norwich.

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 excellent example is mounted on a purpose built stand with a contemporary label stamped ' German Incendiary Bomb 6-11-43 '. The strong circumstantial evidence, including the location where it was purchased, suggests that this is a souvenir of the last raid on Norwich when 2 aircraft, possibly from KG6 dropped HE and IBs on Norwich. The IB itself retains nearly all of it's original finish with a profusion of stamps to body and nose. Nose cap is removable to display the struck and now inert primer.
There is a profusion of similar confections available via FleaBay but I will give an unconditional money back guarantee on this item.
