WW2 Australian #36 Grenade Mills Bomb - Real Issue Australia Military

No 36 Mk I grenade. The body is oval shaped and is made from cast iron. The wall
is segmented in an attempt to control fragmentation and provide grip.
A screw plug is formed on the side for filling the high explosives.
There is a large diameter hole in the base of the grenade body and a small hole
diametrically opposite. The centre piece, which contains the striker assembly and
the detonator, screws into the base of the grenade. The curved striker lever is
positioned on the side of the grenade body and fits closely to the grenade body.
The end of the striker lever fits into a slot and is secured by a retaining pin that
prevents the striker from being forced down onto the firing cap.
The body of the grenade is usually painted black.

War and remained the standard British fragmentation grenade until 1972.
