INERT DEACTIVATED. This is an excellent, original, WW2, 1943 dated Mills No.36M MK 1, Drill hand grenade. The 36M refers to the pattern of Grenade 36 M originally 'Mesopotania' and the fact they were waterproofed. The grenades body has 5 quarter of an inch diameter holes drilled into it so the thrower/instructor can see that there is no explosive filling in it, proving that the grenade is safe to handle. The grenades body has cast into the front, partially obscured by one of the 5 holes drilled into it JHW (John Harper, Willenhall, Staffordshire) at the front and a heat shape over 19, the mould number cast into it under the fly off lever. The zinc base plug is marked SFG/60 No 36M II 43 (1943 date). The fly off lever is stamped on the back S.G.&Co (Stourbridge Glazed Brick & Fireclay Company). The alloy filler plug has cast into it Z (zinc) CRB. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert grenade in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display.
