Impressive . I've not seen that one before but just goes to show that rare grenades are still out there . Thanks for showing it .

very nice Dave.

does the weight of this one correspond to that of a filled Mills? - I presume it would have been used for throwing practice.

great addition to your collection - well done

Very Nice Dave. Sand filled with wooden plug?

No filling in it Dave but it could have been filled with sand as john says, the filler bung is not like a standard filler as the body has not been cut to take the standard bung, the thread is correct but not shamfered for the bung..... Dave
