J C militaria is the market leader in prices, cannot afford to buy a mills what ever next.
Earlier this month at a Military fair I saw a Nice Mills No.5 with an equally nice No.36 (but not matching parts) for sale on a dealers stand. "How much are they?, I asked. "You won't pay it but, £350 each", was the response. We had a bit of a laugh about it.
Today in York I saw the Mills in the attached photo.

I wish British number 1 grenades were such good value.....but I guess there's not so many around.

Yes i have noticed it, i think it was sally antiques that had a dug up relic mils for £350 as well. Ridiculous.
Battleflag militaria in Coulsdon has a couple of original mills - all original components - for £150 each.
Also has a rare VB launcher cup
No connection, just a satisfied customer.
when publishing books with details of variations of design,it is likely to generate/escalate collecting interest,the more collectors the higher the demand,,,market forces blah,,blah,,blah.......mills bombers website has probably sent many of us on the road to financial ruin...millsmans book has just brought the bailiffs to the door,,,,,LOL
