Brescia Coil?

[navyman]

Hello,
Has any member out there have a frag coil to fit my relic Brescia grenade, which they would be willing to sell me? I feel a restoration coming on !
I'll attach a picture of mine and one of a Brescia with it's coil.
Best regards to all,
navyman.

Brixia coil,

Hi Navyman,sorry I cant help with the coil but just out of interest I have had one of these Brixias for about 20 years and I have taken it apart several times looking for some form of marks,date stamps etc,nothing on it at all just the traces of red paint on the fins,but,at the tip of the tail cone there is a flat area about 6mm across,right there at the tip of the cone is a small 4mm circular stamp with some very small lettering, UTCAM-5- there are no other marks at all,it would be interesting to know if this is the same with yours,as a last resort for your coil,B+Q sell lengths of metal (mild steel)in flat strips of various sizes,would you be able to wind a strip of this metal tightly around a round blank of slightly smaller diameter than the cup in the mortar to form a coil,I realise it would not be original but it would look the part,I can supply you with measurements and pics should you need them,
Kind Regards,Don,
