Hi there,

i reccon they are Training or Drill mills grens from the measurements you give. Looks like there may be evidence of some white paint too. Nice find.

Yeah. I agree. Very Mills like segments

Couldn't be the "Holy Handgrenade"? It looks like it and it is big enough to kill the killer Rabbitt? Are you sure that they are not still around. By the way I am going to visit England before my life ends and I want to know if the Castle of Anthrax is still around? I need directions.

There were a couple of odd rifle grenades from WW1 that had Mills like bodies. The Townsend was one and there was an trial grenade called the St Omer experimental taht also had a similar shape. Basically Mills type bodies without the shoulders and with percussion fuzes.
