The No .69 grenade was developed and used during WW2 and was made of Bakelite unlike the No. 36 Mills bomb which had a much greater destructive area. The No. 69 enabled the use without the thrower having much in the way of cover. This is a grenade is in great condition and comes apart.

First time I have come across one of these daggers. This is a 2nd pattern Belgium training fighting knife. These were very similar in style to the Belgium Fighting Knife itself. Produced in Britain, the handle is covered in a hard rubber as is the terminal ball. The steel tube is spring loaded so that when the dagger is plunged into the 'target' it compresses, avoiding injury. Measures 30 cm in length. Being produced in Britain I would assume this would have also have been used by British Commando's & possibly SOE as I have never seen a British version?
