6th.MG.BN Posted February 26 Share #1 Posted February 26 I have a question on this MKII grenade. The fuse looks to be a WWI cutback fuse that has been modified by removing the short tail piece that were on the WWI MKI's. It has a short spoon, but the spoon doesn't have any markings or stampings on it. Would this be correct for post WWI period MKII's? Ken Link to comment
bbmilitaria Posted February 26 Share #2 Posted February 26 The fuse and spoon would be correct for WWI and just post WWI MKII grenades. Most short spoons were unmarked. The grenade body shown is WWII. Link to comment

6th.MG.BN Posted March 4 Author Share #5 Posted March 4 Very nice piece. Is there a list of maker markings on spoons? Ken Link to comment
