INERT DEACTIATED. British, WW2, Rare, 4 Pound Incendiary Bomb. - O 1886 INERT DEACTIATED. At the start of WW2 with the firebombing of British cities by the German Luftwaffe in the 1940/1 Blitz much information was used from the German method of dropping incendiary bombs followed by high explosive bombs which would spread the fires, injure/kill the firefighters/rescuers and their equipment. The British 4 pound incendiary bomb was developed by ICI in 1934 after various trials including the German incendiary bomb. The design was finalised with a all hexagonal bomb with a magnesium body filled with thermite, a flat steel tip and pressed steel hexagonal fins. This bomb could penetrate the roof and 1 to 2 upper floors of a normal building. This is a rare British 4 pound incendiary bomb with the normal flat bottomed type. The bomb measures 21 inches in length including the pressed steel hexagonal tail fins. The bomb is complete with a pressed steel tail fin assembly including the alloy fuse holder that would have originally screwed onto the rear of the incendiary bomb. The bomb has traces of the original black stencilling to one of the sides including the number A/EB ???? 14262.

DEACTIVATED INERT. British, 1985 Dated Carl Gustaf 84mm Recoiless Rifle L50 A1 Anti-Tank HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) Drill rocket. - O 1835 DEACTIVATED INERT. This is a British, 1985 dated Carl Gustaf 84mm recoilless rifle anti-tank HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) drill rocket. The weapon was named after Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori (who initially produced the weapon) and is a Swedish developed 84 mm (3.3 in) calibre man-portable shoulder-fired recoilless rifle. The weapon was initially developed by the Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration during the second half of the 1940s as a close-range anti-tank and support weapon for infantry and was used as a multi-purpose support weapon in use by various nations. The Carl Gustaf 84 mm recoilless rifle is a lightweight, low-cost reusable weapon that uses a wide range of ammunition as opposed to only anti-tank ammunition, eg. High explosive, illuminating (star shell), smoke etc. Development of the initial model started from 1946 as one of the many recoilless rifle designs of that era, based on the experience from the earlier Carl Gustaf 20 mm recoilless rifle made in 1942 and the success of man-portable rocket launchers during World War II, such as the Bazooka and Panzerschreck. The weapon was introduced onto the Swedish Army in 1948. This is a British made L50 A1 HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) drill round that was issued for drill purposes in weapon training so is completely inert. The alloy drill round has a brass base and retains much of its original finish and stencilling. The cartridge case retains its original black anodised finish and is stencilled in white DRILL L50 A1 2/85 (February 1985 date) P.I. and had a positioning cut out on the rim of the cartridge case. The projectiles lower part has a blue finish, signifying a drill round and a has black top part and fuse assembly. The head is stencilled round its circumference in white 84MM INF DRILL ATR. (84mm Infantry Drill Anti-Tank). This weapon was used extensively in the British army until being replaced by the 60mm and 94mm LAW anti-tank weapons in the early 1990s. However due to the Carl Gustaf outranging these weapons it has found a new lease of life as an infantry weapon especially against opposition troops using Russian RPGs. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert drill round in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 1835 £275.00 |
