Primer charge for the British No.82 Gammon Grenade...

[WWIIBuff]

Hello All,

I saw an old thread asking for pictures of the booster/primer charge for the British No.82 Gammon Bomb/Grenade. For reference, here are pictures from my collection of a couple original WWII empty casings for the No.82 Gammon primer charge.

My apologies Gentlemen, but I believe I made a mistake. I think these two pellets are actually for the British 2" and 3" mortar, not the Gammon Grenade. If a moderator can delete this posting to avoid confusing anyone in the future, that would be fine with me.

I am still in search of an example of the C.E. Pellet for the No.74 Sticky Grenade and the No.82 Gammon Bomb/Grenade. That pellet will most likely have an opening in the center.

Had a sort through collection and can add this info.
No74Mk2 practice wooden det




So this is the wooden practice booster with Mk2 No74 and No82 booster holder, seems this will fit Mk2 No74 and No82 booster
