Was wondering what percentage of these use a solid welded ring rather than a keyring type puller?
I have a few in my collection that are of the solid welded type from no 23 Mk2 upwards.
Also how many grenade levers on 23Mk3 and all 36's have a marking on grenade lever ? I have 24 Mills grenades and apart from the Kendrick example lever markings are different, and 9 have no lever markings at all.
 
I had a few of the smaller rings from number 5s that were solid, and also one really small keyring type from a 23 mk1. Infact, the majority that I have seen were solid.
 
im looking for a kendrick lever for a no36 if anyone ever sees one. sorry to hijack you thread, the only ones i have where im sure the pin is original is a no5 which has a keyring type ring, and all the ground dug ones i have seen have been like that to
