My WWII Veteran Uncle gave me these two No. 36M Grenades.

I recently purchased this tin.

Super nice grenades Ed. Is the grenade on the left marked with a "G" or "C"? What about the markings on the safety lever on that grenade? I'm looking for a "C" (Chatco) marked No36 for my collection and they seem to be the hardest to find Canadian maker. I see far more "M" and "FW" marked examples. The "G" marked grenades seem to rank about third on my list of scarcity with "M" and "FW" tying for first and second place. Just curious what you have there. Also curious if other Canadian collectors concur with my observations.

Here is a nice Galt, not one of the ones reputably found in a lake in Holland with 2 welded up holes but a proper one. Centre tube dated 1943, not 1945 as all those are.

Both Grenades are marked G on the body and FW on the lever. Most of my No. 36Ms are FW marked.
