Great things @Fred Karno's Army, love the grenade relics, and particularly like the shotgun cartridge brass end cap...:) I had no idea they uised shotguns...must have been for clearing trenches...:)

Ideal for the job Norrie look at the US M1897 Boomstick ;),not sure if this is a shotgun or flare cartridge base to be honest mate,sure some of the others will know.(Also used in the Stokes mortar base too).
