Mills Bomb and launcher

[Shell Shifter]

I came across one of each of these at an out of the way shop. They were asking $500USD which means maybe $450 or so. This is a bit out of my line but if the price is good I would consider getting them. Does this seem like a good price? Thanks.

If it's the actual cup discharger that clips on the end of the rifle, and includes the launching disk, I would say that it's not a bad price at all.

Hmmm mmAny dead giveaways?

I don't know. I have never owned a discharger cup or even held one, only seen behind glass I'm afraid.

Seems a bit steep to me if you are talking about the WWII era cup. Quite a few were imported a few years back and I think most, if not all, were Indian made. I still see them occasionally for $75-$125. I'll admit No. 36 Mills bombs aren't very common in the U.S., especially with the launching disc, but I found one for a friend last year for $275 that was very clean and original.

With adjustments up for inflation or down for the bad economy, I guess it's not TOO out of line. Just not a great bargain either.
