SAM_0005.JPGSAM_0005.JPGI have recently acquired this Mills base plug, I don't seem to be able to find the maker at the moment. The markings read :-
No 36M Mk1 W.A.Ltd 40 Z. AP and DP (cast into slots) Any comments welcome.
 
Tony, the grenade maker is Willetts Adshead, but the base plug is made by the nearby Alloy Pressure Die Products Ltd.

The WA is quite difficult to make out as the base plug face is out of focus - the background is in much sharper focus, but less interesting...



Tom.
 
Thanks Tom ! I only have a basic camera, perhaps I should invest in something better.....
Great information as always. Tony.
