Hi everyone,

I have recently aquired some resin Mills bombs from a nice gent on the WW2 re-enactors market place UK page on facebook

I've attached a few pictures of them. They are Â£15 each and the quality is fantastic. They have a good weight when holding them in your hand. The pins are very shiny but a little bit of weathering should do the trick.

They are models of the Number 36 Mills bomb, the chap I purchased them from has a quite a lot made up and can supply them with or without the painted markings. From what I have just learnt, the 3 red XXXs across the grenade indicate that it is the waterproofed Number36M Model. The green line running through the centre indicates a Baratol or Trotyl filling.

If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll pass on the chaps facebook contact details. Excuse the incredibly high res images
