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 in better than average condition with much original finish with clear markings to body and nose indicating manufacture in 1936 complete with early waffenampt inspection marks.Fin has faint stencilled markings. Clear evidence of having been apart and looks to have retained its internal striker assembly and would come apart again with a long soak in penetrating oil. I would suggest that the removable fin is not original to the bomb but is a contemporary replacement.
