Some WW1 British grenades

[Williams_castle]

Hi All

WW1 British militaria is my overall collecting interest. Grenades are just a part of that but I thought fellow members might like to see some pictures.

No. 2 grenade:

No. 3 grenade. This has very slight traces of paint remaining:

No. 5 grenade. Seems the same as a No. 23 Mk I except for the baseplug:

Baseplug for the above:

No. 15 grenade. I am not 100% convinced about the screw in the top, but what the heck:

No. 23 grenade:

The No. 23 baseplug:

No. 24 Mk. 1:

That's all my grenades, but I also have this grenade apron, which is totally unmarked but which I believe to be for the No. 15 grenade. If anyone knows differently, please let me know! The pockets are a fair bit bigger than the No. 15, but then they would need to be, to get your fingers round one to lift it out.

The front:

The back of the apron. Hope you found all this interesting!

A very good selection of grenades, nice to see them in original condition. your No 24 Mk1 looks like one of the best ones I have seen. Tony.
