Hello folks. I'm pretty sure this is American, but can anyone tell me exactly WHAT this thing is?? A practice bomb?? It's just an empty shell, a few feet tall. I can't find any nomenclature, markings, etc...Appreciate any help w/ an identification. Thanks!

I saw one of these for sale at the Ft. Worth, Texas militaria show two weeks ago and wondered the same thing - that is it?
To me, it sort of looks like a U.S. WWII training bomb that has been cut down, i.e. the mid-section removed so that all you have left is the nose and the tail portion blended together.
Maybe others can give a positive ID? -
yep thats what you have a 100lb practice bomb that had its center cut away and both ends welded together lots were made after the war like this and cut out noses sections for ash traysComment

You guys are right! I thought about calling it either Fat Man or Little Boy, but more than likely it's flea market fodder next time around. Thanks!Comment
