SOLD SOLD (10/09) INERT DEACTIVATED. RARE, Early WW1, September 1915 Dated, No5 Mk 1 Centre Cast & Lathe Finished, First Pattern Mills Hand Grenade By GDP (GD Peters of London & Slough). - O 2038 INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a scarce and early example of the first type centre cast, lathe turned No5 Mk 1 Mills hand grenade. The cast iron body has centre cast line directly under the brass filling plug as opposed to the slightly later ones where the casting line under the filling plug was omitted. The grenade was lathe finished after being cast and this gave it a very smooth and uniform finish which was labour intensive and was soon stopped. As a result the segmentation on these early grenades is markedly more defined than on later grenades. The alloy base plug is marked with No 5 MK 1 9/15 date (September 1915) GDP (GD Peters of London & Slough). This centre cast number 5 hand grenade is in excellent condition and is devoid of any makers markings or mould markings to the body.

This ring was soon replaced with a larger diameter pull ring in service due to the difficulty in gripping the smaller ring.

This is a scarce nicely marked early WW1 1st Pattern Centre Cast Number 5 mark 1 Mills hand grenade. See pages 41-46, ‘GRENADE’ British & Commonwealth Hand & Rifle Grenades by Rick Landers.
