    British Mystery Thing That Goes Boom - Maybe?

    Hi guys, I have no clue what this is. Any ideas? the markings are:
    MARK 1, P.L. There is a braod arrow and a 18 43 date. The stencil says:
    FITTED DETS ????????? DUMMY M.IIX. The bottom of the black base with the 2 spring-loaded posts is stenciled DUMMY. I've never seen anything like it

    Greg

    Oh yeah, there is another weird grenade (WW1?) that also came with the lot. I added a .303 dummy round for scale

          has No. 22
          This is a good example of the 1915 No. 22 model "Pippen" Rifle Grenade. This was a very simple but effective grenade manufactured in France for the British Army after a design by Captain Newton (of trench mortar fame amongst others - see the "Toffee Apple" plug!). The body (with some pitting) has a faint date "1916" and some other faint markings. The rod is slightly renovated.
