A WWI bomb timer mounted on base, marked ACHIET LE-PETIT 17-3-17, reputedly recovered by the vendor's grandfather, Major Joseph Walker in Achiet le Petit in France during WWI. It had been dropped on 17.03.17 from a Zeppelin near to him and had not exploded. He believed it was one of the first bombs dropped from a zeppelin. He had it reduced and mounted.
