W.W.1 German Transit Plug

[juno-44]

Hi to all,

Is this an original transit plug for the German W.W.1 kugel and egg grenade? It measure 24mm in diameter and it is made of bakelite.
Thank you all in advance and hoping to hear from some of you very soon.

Regards, juno-44

No, it is an ebonite closing plug used on various British WWI grenades, such as the Nos 2, 3 and 20.

For example , have a look here: http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/86862-Brit-No-2-7MM-grenade-Purchase?highlight=ebonite
