Hi All,
Received this today, a ww1 No.23 MkIII Grenade. It is in relic condition but i like it. The base plug shows it was made by Dobson & Barlow of Bolton Lancs, but unfortunately the date of manufacture has vanished :tinysmile_angry_t:
Are these MkIII's rarer than other ww1 mills? I only wonder as i would maybe like to clean it up even better, i already have a nice relic No.5 from John (Millsman) but as i dont know where this was found etc im tempted to restore it a bit. But won't if it's slightly rarer.
Thanks,
Ben.
