Hi, Re. the thread of 18th. Sept. 09. here are the dets and nose fuzes in their order from bottom to top as shown in the image. Hope this is some help in identifying the two grenades. Note how the two upper dets have flanges at their base. Cheers, RonB.

Ron,
At least the top det and top fuze are consistent with a Mk 2 grenade. They seem to be Det No 107 Mk2 (3.3cm long) and Fuze L9 Mk 2 (or later L2A2). But then you know that.

In the middle row the Det looks like No 107 Mk 1 (3 cm long) but the fuze does not look like either a L9 Mk 1 or Mk 2 (or their drill counterparts). The protrusion (det or tube) is a different size to those sealed as British Service fuzes (although this approval likely didn't happen until 1952).

Presumably the bottom det is the original Mecar design capable of being inserted the wrong way round.

Can't be sure of course, the older you get the less you know - not much help in other words.

Thanks Norman, will get back to you on this, with my summing up. Food for thought, what is the Mk.1 MODIFIED? Kind regards, Yours in haste. Ron.
