2. Was told it is an Italian Incendiary bomb part? I have no information or diagram of what this is.
The nose and body are steel and the rounded tail piece. The rest of the tail is brass.
205mm overall length. 128mm body to tip length. 44mm body diameter.
What is missing from this item? Is it a bomb part? I can return to sender if I am not happy and I know nothing at this moment.

As far as I know the lower one is a French igniter for a Napalm bomb. But it may also be in use with Italy.
 
Here some info, most probably from bocn. Incendiary and APERS bomblets.

I thank you all for the identification as I had only a vague idea what it was. I guess I will keep it. Ron.
 
I read the links to the napalm igniter shown by BURNEY DAVIS.
This is the exact same item I have, same spots and burn marks. Must have been bought and sent to Australia years ago.
