A friend brought this back from Flanders for me, stopped car in a layby for emergency toilet break and picked this up out of ditch, so I assume a number 5, 23 or 36, I've read up many times about mills grenades
only partially exploding due to det cap being offset, I think this must be a great example of this, centre tube blown away
where det exploded, only that side of body is missing, bottom half intact to rear, the grenade Det tube torn and some remains, interestingly the grenade appears to have burst along the external serations. The base plug missing and internal threads torn.
i find this relic piece really interesting, anyone else got any partial detonation examples?
(I have warned him not to touch anything else he may see on his journeys)
