INERT DEACTIVATED. This is an excellent, WW2, 1943 dated Mills No.36M MK 1, hand grenade. The 36M refers to the pattern of Grenade 36 M originally 'Mesopotania' and the fact they were waterproofed. The cast iron body retains much of its original brown varnished finish and has the manufacturers letter M cast into the front and a crowfoot between the filing plug and the plunger. The zinc base plug is marked No36 M MK 1 43 (1943 date) Z (zinc) WD over C and the manufacturers monogram of S in a hexagonal lozenge shape. The base plug is screwed for a rifle grenade base plate. The inner primer holder is made of alloy, not having the Z stamp in it for a zinc alloy and has cast into it 1943 (1943 date) 4 Z (zinc) and the manufacturers monogram of S in a hexagonal lozenge shape. The grenade is fitted with an alloy filling plug. See pages 111-119 in ‘GRENADE’ British & Commonwealth Hand & Rifle Grenades by Rick Landers. 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. O 2105
