Picked this up today for 20 bucks...love stuff like this!
Please make sure it is actually a practice bomb? I get nervous when I hear persons saying they don't know what something is and then say it is inert. Just make sure thats all!I'm happy this thread popped up! I have one of these little inert "bombs" in my storage, complete with the oversized signal charge inside. I've never actually tried looking it up but now i know what it is.
Ill get some pics today of it with the signal charge.

I took in a batch of old WW2 stuff and inherited a VERY live Grenade. The guy that sold it to me said that it was his grandfathers and he used to try to play with it as a kid. Come on People!
Its inert. I made sure to throw it on the ground, nose first, repeatedly before bringing it inside so its good to go.
If you look down the middle, its a smooth cylinder with just a firing pin assembly at the tip, held by that cotter pin. The shell gets loaded and upon impact, gravity makes it fire, sending a report from down range. Its completely harmless
