II acquired this drill no 5 last year and it has hada good hard life training WW1 Mills bombers.Looks like the paint is original and well battered from a lot of use.Its solid cast Iron and quite heavy and its design is of a slab sided lever No 5, so could be 1915 but I suspect its from 1916 but we will never know.Even has a small pingpull which looks original which might help date it.Feels great in the hand and most certainly looks good with my other WW1 training Mills.
