An original early WW2 enamel sign for the A.W. bombs, this would have been attached to the underside lid of the storage box, the sign is in excellent condition with some holes chipping and rust as can be seen but still a nice strong original display item the rust only being surface deep and far better than the majority that turn up, the dirt and marks to the front would clean off if polished. it measures 12 inches x 8 inches.

"In 1940, when the invasion of Britain seemed imminent, the phosphorus firm of Albright and Wilson suggested that the British government use a material similar to Fenian fire in several expedient incendiary weapons. The only one fielded was the Grenade, No. 76 or Special Incendiary Phosphorus grenade, which consisted of a glass bottle filled with a mixture similar to Fenian fire, plus some latex (cf. Molotov cocktail, Greek fire). It came in two versions, one with a red cap intended to be thrown by hand, and a slightly stronger bottle with a green cap, intended to be launched from the Northover projector (a crude 2.5 inch blackpowder grenade launcher). It must be noted that these were improvised anti-tank weapons, hastily fielded in 1940 when the British were awaiting a German invasion after losing the bulk of their modern armaments in France in May 1940”
