Hello,

Could anyone tell me the length and width of a Mills grenade base plug key please .

First posting on this forum by the way.

Regards

Christoff
 
Welcome aboard . They are 4.1" long & 1.05" wide with a wire diameter of 0.19" . This can vary slightly & some have a blackened rust proof finish [as shown] . Hope this helps . Mike.

Many thanks Mike . Would these type of keys have been used during the Great War ?

Kindest Regards

yes. the design didnt really change from the 1st ww to the 2nd ww. there were other designs of keys, which im sure can be found on another thread somewhere on the forum.
