Mills No. 5 Mk II baseplug

[Millsman]

I've only seen a couple of No 5 Mk II base plugs.

This one I just discovered in a fairly low quality batch of base plugs from France off the Somme battlefield.

It's by DF Co and is dated 8/16. The D is very lightly stamped but is there.

One for the collection!

Strangely enough I found one last night going through my plugs. Never noticed it before.

Recently found a picture of a No5 Mk2 which i destroyed accidentally by removing the Mazac filler screw thinking it was aluminum, its the middle Grenade,
