Gildwiller1918 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 New item, WW1 Practice Mills hand grenade. It features a moveable spoon, but it does not come off as it is pinned into place, this way it won't get lost. It is similar in weight to a regular No.5 type, however it lacks the fragmentation bands, with only vertical grooves for handling. The pin is not correct either, and I will get a proper reproduction part to correct that. However it is overall very good condition and not encountered very often. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzedog Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Very nice example . These are some of the rarest and even harder to come by here in Yank territory. I pick one up one recently to add to my collection. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzedog Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Here is the progress on a No5 cutaway project I am working on. This is the rough assembly. I will update when it is finished. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 I have seen quite a bit of cutaway examples of various grenades and ordinance out there. I like that you are showing the interior mechanisms as well, great job! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
