No: 36 mills-box markings
Can any-one please measure me the size of the lettering on the sides of the mills box, as i`m making a repro-box and it needs marking up,
what diameter square are the wood blocks inbetween the grenades ?
also the lettering is hard to make out so any help of what to put on will help, as its going to be, 12 GRENADES, NO36 MK1 HAND, 12 DETS, LOT ??
thanks panzerknacker

One of the worst Ammo Boxes to handle at 3 Base Ammunition Depot in the 70's as they had been field stored for years, and the rope rotted or the bottom fell out of the case, leading to grenades everywhere!
One observation I will make is that the un-issued 36 Grenade used to be dipped in wax to about the filler plug level from the top to preserve them, and the soldier hand to clean it all off before the fly off lever would operate.
