WWI British Mills Bomb No.5...
Glenn
It's a WW1 1916 Mills No 5 grenade which somebody has painted a garish blue! No idea of value but the blue paint is going to reduce it.
You beat me to it Glenn, damn my fat fingers on this iphone
Was it originally designed as a training piece? Or was it cut open by a collector?

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

IMO training pieceby MAP
How do you know it was a training piece?
It wasn't originally blue when we first got it, but over the years it has been painted
The fact that it is a cut away. Probably used to train military personel on how it works for educational purposes.
You may be able to remove the blue paint.

it is so well-cut and also all mechanisms are visible too, thats why i think it is training piece.
more specifically like MAP said educational purposes.
