Hi all. I was recently invited by and elderly couple who know I collect military items to come and view a collection of ephemera and glass plate negatives that belonged to a relative who served in WW1 (I will post a thread of the ephemera when I have sorted it properly). I was only told about the paper items so imagine my surprise when this was also put on the table. I was brought back by the guy's father who was a lorry driver in the RASC in France. The base plug has a nice 1916 date and it is complete with spring (obviously it is inert). Finds such as this just show that things are still out there. This apparently spent a good many years on a shelf in the garage. Overall a nice original Mills bomb.
