German KC 250Kg Flam bomb part

[ChrisR]

This is the back end from a 250Kg incendiary 'oil bomb'.

Looks like it might have broken up without igniting.

[Richard Auld]

is that a VW marking, I know they made Panzerfausts tubes?

[ChrisR]

Don't know to be honest Richard, but interested to know more if anyone can enlighten.

oh wow. Niiiice.  I agree its the arse end from what you think.  Whats the story behind it?,how did you get it pal?

[Davejb]

I have to say , that things are starting to look up on the forum, I must admit that I have not seen this type before, but it might be the fact its in bits and not complete, can someone post up what a complete one looks like

[Desert Rat]

Just to let you know I waiting for the confirmation from a guy in the USA who has an image I hope I can show you?

Why are you showing a Panzerfaust, the  item being shown is a 250kg incendiary (oil Bomb),??????

@Desert Rat I can see that you thought it was the arse end of a Panzerfaust round,same conical shape mate. But alas,the original posted pic is from a 250Kg Flam.

Unfortunately the story has been lost. I picked it up from a dealer a few years back at the War and Peace show. Nice to actually get something with some paint still on!

Ey up Ian. That’s the same size but not the variant. That looks like a standard thin walled 250.

Not the Flam.
