Hi Steve
Thanks for your reply.
My Galt Grenade has indeed been de-milled, which I noticed when I bought it, but I am still very happy with it and bought it for a reasonable sum.
The holes can only be seen when viewed from the inside as the outside has been finished very well and the grenade has its place amongst my collection although I wouldn't want to make a habit of buying Mills grenades for my collection that have been re-worked or counterfeit so to speak.
What interested me in the main, was that in my continual sweep of all the dealers, all of a sudden I see quite a number have one or two of these Galt grenades like mine for sale. It just seemed a little odd that all of a sudden a handful appear at once on the market....where have they come from? A newly discovered stash hidden since 1940's, a private collection thats been up for auction? Who knows? I've already fallen fowl of buying what I think is a couple of reproduction training Mills grenade's from internet dealers which had been passed off as factory rejects pulled from the production line and designated for training purposes before they had the holes cut and threaded into them, but as they were inexpensive I don't really mind, but I don't want to make a habit of buying non-genuine items, otherwise what's the point of collecting these things at all?
Once again, thanks for the info
