Hi Ian,  glad you like it,, I have another one on a 1931 date stamp. this one is 1927 :) 

as for price,, never seen any up for sale like this in the past 10 years, as a guess id say £300 to  £400 complete.

Hello Nick,

 

Thanks for your reply,

I think it is a Practise Grenade as the WW1 I have sold....had the holes in it, all the same weight etc as the "Live" ones, but used by the recruits and infantry to throw in the correct manner, hit the planned target, practise pulling the ceramic ball---then count and throw (Quick)

I hope I am right...anyone else know?

 

Best to you and All on this website and Good ol Lenny.

It is indeed a practice Ub M24. the small dome shaped det had a small amount of black powder inside that gave of a small bang and a cloud of smoke, 1 to seem realistic and 2  to help I'd where it landed.

I'll post some more of the Ub trainers later from WW1, you'll see the red was darker in early years then lighter in later years for training ( Ub ) grenades.
