Grenade lid?

[Fragman]

Hi, Anybody know what the lid on the right is off? Its shown next to a standard always fuze lid for size comparison. It was found in an old WW2 army dump with some clam mines. Cheers.

I had posted something grossly incorrect here and deleted it.

The first (on left) is safety cap for British No. 69 or No. 82 grenade.
Edit: oops, sorry, I don't read you interest the right.

Not a great picture, but looks like a typical Russian/Soviet fuze cap.

Not too sure either. Just looking through my Brit grenade book, and the closest thing I can find is the cap for - Bomb, Incendiary, 1-1/4 lb MK1.

Hello

This is the cap for - Bomb, Incendiary, 1-1/4 lb MK1. It seems more long than the id quest.

But perharps there were two sizes ?

Hi. Thanks for your help. I'd not considered the possibility of it being from a Russian fuze, as it is very unusual to find Russian ordnance over here. The ribbing is very similar to that used by the Aussies with some of the red No69's. The wire that is threaded through the two holes on the top looks original to the lid and is and unusual addition, as it would have meant that it is not water proof. I look forward to a possitive ID one day. Cheers

While it's hard to tell from the photo, don't forget that China copied a lot of Russian stuff as well. I'll see if I can find some photos of Chinese or Russian later for comparison.

I'm afraid that not too many of my fuzes still have their caps. Nevertheless, here are a couple examples. The first three as Soviet, the last one is Chinese. The caps can vary significantly in shape and size.

Hi. Thanks for the pics. Here's another couple of views of the cap. Cheers
