Dug No 36

Got this at Beltring in July. A dug No 36 in reasonable nick. I like it because its not been touched, other than the deactivation drill holes in the centre tube, since it was dropped in 1917/18. It was found in Langemark, Belgium and the pin, lever and striker have not moved since the guy who held it last armed it.
It has some corrosion and pitting on 25% of the body but the rest is pretty good. I did add a base plug as the original was missing. The ringpull is slightly smaller than usual but original to the gren by the look of it.
