No23 Mk2 new addition

[MG34NZ]

Heres one I found at the weekend...very friendly price for a change as well, Its sporting a No23MK2 base plug so I assume thats what it is. Centre tube is brass ,striker is slotted.Traces of original paint remain on the body with shelac finish then some Red at the top with remnants of pink around the centre and lever also has some remains of shelac. Looks like a "n" or a "D" on the front with 36 below it.
Hope you like it

Looks like a nice grenade with all original parts. A nice find. The letter and number on the front will be casting marks. The maker Wm W & S Ltd is quite a rare plug (and an unknown maker). So good all round.

A good find there. Base plug markings are likely to be William Whiteley and Sons Ltd, of Huddersfield, Yorkshire.
