my last catch

Hi,

How do you know that the Mills is a training grenade as they had designated training grenades, complete with lever and pins??

I posted this one recently and received the impression that it perhaps was never completed and "liberated" from the factory.......

Here's a standard practice one for comparision.

Cheers
Drew

TMine42,

Yep, that is him! He was a great soldier and a living legend in SOG. His favorite rifle was an old Springield 1903. He carried that rifle every where. Didn't he win the Manhiem Cross or something?
