Hi all

Trying to find out if this from a Aircraft or Zeppelin baby killer and what kind of incendiary bomb it would have been? From a photo in my collection.

Could be a "blind" from the actual zepplin

The object does look a bit like a mangled German incendiary bomb after use (see the photo below of one that burnt out after a September 1915 raid) but the central post looks to be much longer in relation to the cover than in the other bomb.

On the night of 2/3 April 1916 Edinburgh was bombed by two German Navy Zeppelins: L14 commanded by Kapitänleutnant Alois Böcker bombed the city between 2330 and 0015, and L22 commanded by Kapitänleutnant Martin Dietrich bombed at about 2350.

Thanks for the info it looks to the similar ass the one in your pic.

I only paid 50 cents N.Z for it a few years ago, now i no what it is and from which two Zeppelins it could have been from makes it very interesting thanks for that.

Morse what is a Blind?.
