Mills grenade box project

I thought I'd post some images of my WW 1 Mills grenade box project that I've been working on over the last few weeks.

I'd also like to thank those members who helped me with the spec on the detonators, detonator tin & block.

Thanks chaps .

You can buy the plans & labels from the this website http://www.tommyspackfillers.com/contact.htm

Beware that there are one or two mistakes on the plans. I've passed these issues onto the owner of the company, who may have sorted the problems by now .

Yes it was just right well done it looks good have you made the wood block to go in the tin?
Andy
 
I had one made by a professional cabinet maker, as my skills wouldn't stretch me that far
