No5 Mills Grenade Reproduction
Warning.
Look out collectors they are even reproducing these now, I
brought this one for £40 ( I don't have this one in the collection).
To make this in small quantities then sell it for £40 and
make a profit, I think there will be more turning up, I have seen 3 so far.
It is a very good copy, don't get caught out, I have listed
below a few points to look for.
