Hello all,
I found this base plug whilst looking through the bit's and pieces box yesterday. It was originally found in the base of a No 23 which was given to me ages ago. I replaced it with a nice repro 23 one and forgot about this one. It has a large central threaded rod hole with an internal diameter of 9.6mm as compared with the usual 5.99mm. The very faint stamps are; No 36 MK II, SEG, and dated September 1942. There is a broad arrow on the inside of the plug. Can anyone explain the larger than usual hole, or tell me anything else about it?
Many thanks,
navyman.
