Charge 1 Lb

[Barnabé]

Hello, In picture is a load of 1 lb English manufacturing. It looks like the grenade GP but does have a screw-threaded plug. Is 2WW or post 2WW?. Thanks for your replies Barnabé

60 of them joined up with detonating cord made up a Line Charge.

Nice examples. Have you tried a 247 fuse in the larger one as I could see a thread inside it....... Dave

I'm not sure if this needs saying but it is a Scare Charge and takes an N8 striker mechanism (similar looking to the mech for a No 83 Smoke Grenade).
