Hi All
Bit of help needed - oicked these up today.
Fairly positive grenade on left is a No 23 Mk II Rod Mills - not bad condition & strips down except fo ally coe (at present). Missing the rod & the correct safety pin assembly. Spoon is ok but some pitting & base plug a bit damaged.
The other I have no idea about. I think it might be another rifle grenade? Fuze marked AEM & a 5 on the other side. Cannot make out any markings on body. Bit pitted & spoon is in a sad state.
Other item is a mag charger with a iol bottle in it. As I bought this in Belgium & bottle has `Huille` painted on it I am thinking Vigneron? IMG_0722.jpgIMG_0723.jpg As ever - thanks
 
other hand gren is French F1 with Mle 1935 fuze; think charger and oil bottle are for MAT-49 SMG.

maybe somebody else can confirm?

Thanks for that batonroundcollector - I thought it might be an F1 French but wasn`t familiar with the fuze.
Anyone got the rod & safety pin for the Mills going? Or a better condition spoon for the F1 please?
