Hello all
This arrived today. I'm a Mills man in all honesty, but thought I'd get one of these as I haven't seen them around that often, but I'd like to know a little more about it.
The whole top section unscrews revealing what I assume is the fuse....a small nib about 2cm long below the thread where the top screws into the grenade body.
The body makes a sound like a Salt or pepper cruet set when you shake it.....it sounds like there is loose grains or rice inside....is that normal?
Also, whats with the yellow band around the body? Does it identify the type of filling and does the paint work look original?
Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
Thanks
Mike
