Which material is used for the body ?

Topfmine

Hi Euronymous,

It appears to be pulped wood and cardboard mixed with tar for waterproofing.
It is the model "A" as the pressure plate is raised.
Cheers

Hi Frtiz84,
Yes the SF1 is original, it is missing the ignitor pocket and the 2 ampules that fit inside I just need the wooden insert for the booster charge.
The black cap is only a transport cap screwed into the fuse pocket that extends through the glass lid.
Cheers Russell
