No.36 G.70

An old thread, but the appropriate place for some images of a (surplus) G.70 for 12x No.36 grenade from the early 1970s. It's a bit of a scabby example, but at least it shows the stencilling clearly enough.

Nice box, have a very similar one all be it slightly tattier!! Post war grenade boxes seem to be scarcer than wartime ones. The difficult bits to get are the cardboard tubes, still looking if anyone has any (4) spare. Dont mind what date they are.

Does anyone know what some items of the stencilling mean, specifically the 6 in "GREN 6", 16 in "DET 16"? Are these simply the lot numbers?

Also anyone for the 35 JC on the arrow?

Thanks.




Tom.
