This bomb is a converted seacoast artillery shell from which the rotating band may have been removed. The cases are single-piece steel forging. Two eyebolts, U-shaped, are welded to plates which are then welded or revetted to suspension bands. Prior to March 1942 these bombs would have been painted yellow all over with black manufacturers markings, but since then they were painted olive-drab with a 1-inch yellow band around the nose and extreme rear of the bomb and a ¼ inch band around the center of gravity.
