Today i received a French smoke grenade, a GR MA FC F2 (GRenade MAin Fume Colore, Modele F2).On the nade, i found 3 diffrent makers marks, one painted/stencilled on the side of the body (RTE), one engraved in the base of the body (PMB), and one embossed on the side of the Mle.35 fuze (SAE)
The Fuze was the easy part to determine as SAE stands for: Societe d'Armements et dEtudes alsetex, Paris
I think RTE did the filling of the smoke charge, and PMB was the manufacturer of the grenade body.
Does anyone knows who is RTE and/or PMB ?
Thanks,
Geert.
