Brass Grenade Centre Piece.

I finally cleaned this detector find? from Europe with HCl and it fizzed for about 10 seconds. I thought it was made from zinc/mazac ? but on cleaning it was brass.
A light clean showed a maker: B & M Ltd. I thought that if the det blew out that the damage would be worse unless it was burnt for destruction.
All Australiam No 36 grenades have a zinc/mazak centre and I have not seen a brass one before. Noted as known on the forums in brass.

Who is this maker B & M Ltd ?
