And I gave mine away many years ago as I was not sure it was right at the time !!!!!:tinysmile_cry_t4:

i had a key but did not know for sure if it was for the No36, fragman sent me the pictures 2 and 3 and then had to find the key.

Great pics Dave. Thanks for sharing. My one is a slightly different shape to yours. I wonder how many variations are out there?? Cheers

Nice piccys of key Dave, any more info on the box? As a very sad collector of Mills boxes would love one of these.

I have some cardboard tubes as picture in the collection Andy but there not for rifle grenades.



Possibly these tins could also fit in the box, the bottom one is a No75 tin but thy also had close looking arrangement for those in this type of box, some where i did have a divider for the No75 igniter tins but can not find it right now....Dave

Probably as rare as hen's teeth Dave, same as the key.
I like my 1972 box too, not initially meant for Mills grens[Tom, stop cringing] but well marked up for them. The remains of Tom's box did stout work finishing off my Bren gun box for which i am forever grateful.

Well, it gives me something to look for, thanks.
