    Identification of various items in local museum

    Guys, here are a few rounds, grenades, mortar rounds, etc. in the local museum in which I am trying to help them get properly identified. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    US grenade?

          Hi there, the top grenade is a no 23 grenade, could be used as a rifle grenade, hence the threaded hole in the base plug, a rod would have been fitted into that thread. Ill check my Jap ordnance manual and get back to you about the other one.
          Cheers

            The first one is a Mills Grenade I believe. British origin.

            More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mills_bomb

            Like Dom said:

            "The No. 23 was a variant of the No. 5 with a rodded base plug which allowed it to be fired from a rifle. This concept evolved further with the No. 36, a variant with a detachable base plate to allow use with a rifle discharger cup"
