Grenade or Mortar

[BMG50]

Found this the other day but have also seen these in the past laying about, can anyone help.

Chris . It looks like the base piece from a Danish M23 grenade but if you found it in the UK , that would be unusual ! What's the approx. size ? Mike.

Hi Mike the diameter is 35.5mm and the side of the knurling is 12mm. There were quite a few of them during the 70s when i was a kid on a range that fired mortars and grenades now disused. Thought they had something to do with a HE 81mm mortar round. Don't think they would be the Danish M23 grenade as the bits i found in the 70s at the time were freshly fired and think they were current ordnance during the 60s or 70s. Found this by a public path near the disused range, always wondered what it could be.

Chris. Yes , to big for a Danish ! I've seen that before but cannot for the life of me remember what it is . Let's hope someone with a better memory comes up with an ID . Mike.

Could that be the part (nose) of a "Fuse, Percussion, D.A, No 161, Mk3" for a mortar?

I don't think its part of the 161 fuze, i have had a look at most of the British used motar bombs of that era and can't seem to relate anything, could be related to a grenade, unless its experimental.

Anyone recognize this object to date?

Seeing as there are new members since I last posted this, I was wondering if anyone would be able to identify it again.

I will have to look when I get home, but it looks like a cap for the ingniter cartridge off of a 2" mortar cartridge ( just checked the measurements, its too big to be from a 2" mortar round)
