Does anyone have the correct dimensions of a Mills bomb filler plug please?

I have what looks like 2 of them that came in a tobacco tin with other bits and pieces of militaria,but I'm not sure if they are filler plugs!

They are both brass with no markings.

Cheers,
Andy
 
Hi there,

the threads on a No 5/23 Mk 2 are 7/16th with 20 TPI and the 23/3/36 are 9/16 again 20 TPI.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Andy,but should have been more specific!
I need the measurements of the width and depth in cm please.

Cheers,
Andy
 
Hi bud,

they were all originally produced in imperial measurements, its the best i can do. You will have to convert what i have given you to metric figures. Cant help any more. All the equipment i have is imperial, they didnt make 'em' metric. These are the standard Mills measurements and as accurate as you will get.
