Unknowed Grenade Stricker?

[juno-44]

Hi,

Does anyone recognize this 1 3/4 inches long striker as being for a W.W.1 British grenade and if not any idea for what?

Hi Juno-44 Its a sheet metal gripper pin! Sometimes referred to as "Cleko" pins. Used in the aircraft industry when building sheet metal assemblies. They come in different sizes and are used as temporary fixings until the assembly is to be riveted together.

Hi hangarman,

The "cleko" I see on the internet are quite different, are you sure about it, do you have a photo of one that looks like mine?
