Hi Derek,
they are no where near as common as the zinc alloy ones, i believe only about 5% were either brass or iron jobbies during WW2. I have 3 drill grens with the same brass plug, 43 and 44 dated and havnt seen any brass ones from another maker. Dosnt mean they wernt made by other companies though.
