Mini British screening smoke grenade

[roller63]

I got this little item today, all inert and used. A very small screening smoke grenade. Only 5 inches long inc fuze and 1.5 inches across. Markings read : GREN HAND SMK SCR CCC CTX Delay 1.0 sec C401 Typical British Army dark green body with markings in light green. Plastic fuze assy, no lever pin or ring at the moment. Anyone know anything about it ? Sorry about poor pics but light here is rubbish.

Hi Tony,

interesting!

i typed C401 into google search and found the following web-site for Centanex:
