1915 Mills No. 5 Mk. I hand grenade ;)

[Theodor]

The newest recruit to the bomb collection I think it is deactivated, because something from the ignition system is missing and also the body is empty, when remove the screw on the upper side, is is seen that there is nothing inside, where the explosive should be. On the bottom is marked A.L. & Co and N. 5 - I
Little by little the bomb collection grows
