Old Bomb Help please

Old bomb that is about 3 feet tall. I can't seem to find another onr just like it any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

 

If you change the title to Please Help Bombshell, bet you'll get some of the guys to look at it sooner.

 

Not sure how lol

 

@springfld.arsenal knows his bombshells.

 

At the top of the thread next to the title - there should be a "thread tools" drop-down menu. Click on that and then click on edit title.

 

You have only a limited amount of time when you can edit after posting something. Not sure how long, but guessing it was too late when you tried. Alas.

 

Looks like a practice dummy bomb, most of ours were painted that type of blue. Sometimes they emitted smoke.

 

Should be a practice bomb with that color but I’ve never seen that model before, looks “early” maybe pre-ww2. I think as it I’d uncommon might be worth $200. Or so if you can find a buyer, and certify it is inert. I personally would have no problem opening up the body to peek, but if u do it make sure your life insurance premium is paid up. I’m 99% sure it isn’t dangerous, but there could still be some kind of spotting charge in it. They usually “fire” out of the tail if there is one. Many are basically a long 10 ga. Shotgun shell that fires yellows smoke.

 

" DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME "...............or....what the hell....go 4 it !!!!!

 

Thanks guys I figured a practice bomb but I don't know much about that kind of stuff so I figured I would make sure. An yeah no I will not try this at home LOL. It came with an estate I bought. The guy was in the navy on the USS George but no telling when he picked it up

 

If I had to guess I would say WWII or korea.

 

The george DE 697 was commissioned in 43 decommissioned in 1958. But he coukd have got it before or after that I reckon.

 

I think Korea the letters are pretty much dated 50's an I even have a couple of boxes of china he sent home in the original crates never unpacked

 

unpack em !!!!

 

LOL
