[QUOTE="the blacksmith, post: 9319605, member: 20148"]At first I thought probably one of the M 80 series of US bombs, but looking carefully, there are no obvious joins where warhead or tail are fitted, or mounts to mount it on an aircraft. It is also slightly the wrong shape to be one of these too I think. Together with the already mentioned curved fins, this being a genuine piece of ordnance seems to me very unlikely. Perhaps a presentation or display item, or even an old film prop? I don't know that much about this type of ordnance, but I have amassed a few such items to display in my workshop, so have a slight interest.
