Dets in Mills grenades

Can anyone post some photos of the different types of dets in a 36 Mills grenade please. I've seen drill dets on specialist - I was just wondering what the real ones looked like and what the variations in the different marks were.
Thanks.
Dave.
 
Hi Dave,

here are a couple of pics of a good Drill Det in good condition. It would be zakly the same as a live det but for the word 'drill' on the anvil and the 2 holes at the top of the copper tube.

The Mk111 Drill Dets I have..and I have 100s of them..look the same as live dets I have seen, just painted blue without a live "primer" in them..the Pactice ones I have simply have a copper fake primer.
