PIAT Marks question

[MINENAZ16]

Hello,

Can someone explain the difference between Marks for PIAT grenades ?

I only know that Mk1 used a cap with two pins for the fuze and other used a cap screwed.

I thought that the Mk1 round only used the fuze No425 but today I found rounds with No426 with a cap for pins.

These bombs are in bad condition so it's very difficult to know the Mark.

As rounds were unfuzed I found No 426 in containers on tails. In my documentation No425 and No426 are stored in the container without cap ; but today I found cap on fuze in the same container.

I'll check the other container tomorrow.

I need more explaination because it's very confused to me.

Regards.

Hello,

Now I understand. I think I found MkII type.
These bombs were fitted with short transit plug (picture above), I assume same as drill fuze, for fuze N425.
So the No 426 kept in tail container need a proper thimble because the thimble in place is too short (only suitable for N425).

Regards.
