Help with Unidentified mills bomb.

[Warspite]

I have had this mills bomb for a while and I'd be interested in finding out where it's from. I doubt it's british, but beyond that I have no clue...


For comparison here it is between my no5 and no36 grenades:



Thanks

looks like some kind of no23 copy

Hi Ed. I could be wrong but it looks to me like a No23 MK3. Take a look at this site:

No23 Mk1

What makes you think it is not British?

Edit: xPanzerx beat me to it.

I bought it from SOF for £25 so I didn't think it would be British at that price!

Ah, fair enough. You could try dropping the guy who runs the site I posted the link from an email. He was very helpful in IDing one of mine.

[Warspite]

Thanks, I'll try that. There's no markings on it all so I've not much to go on...

someone on BOCN might know what it is
