No 69 Dutch

Big Dave,

On the first page it says that the instructor and all students will have an instructiehandgranaat so it can be Dutch EXC stands for Exercitie

I think you are right Dave. I can't access my Dutch No69 at the moment, but I'm pretty sure they are un-marked, unlike the British ones being marked : No69 I DLR 40 (other dates)

My Drill Dutch 69. Has a solid practice fuze with a number and a symbol on it. The cap has a number and the same symbol inside. And the body is marked EXC on the base.

heres a Dutch 69, 3rd from left. the body is unmarked but each component of the fuze and body has a different number and a tiny symbol inside. the cap has finer grip lines that the UK, Australian or Canadian models. Also the dutch version has the Mk3 247 fuze.
