Hello all,

While jogging this morning through the fields close to my home, I stumbled across an interesting item, reminiscent to a possible WW2 mortal bomb of some sort.

I'm not entirely sure what it is. Anyway I brought it home and scraped most of the dirt and grime off it.

I have attached some images of the artifact for you all to take a closer look.

Technical Specs:

On one of the 'tail-wings' of the artifact I noticed the engraving 'Z-6 FD LTD 1939 - 2'

On the top of the artifact, I noticed the number 40 engraved into the circular cap and what looks like the word 'WPC' in capitals.

Does anyone have any idea what this item actually is? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Jonathan.
