WW2 Canadian Mills Drill Detonator Mk3 INERT

The WW2 Canadian Mills Drill Detonator Mk3 INERT is a historical training device used by Canadian forces during the Second World War. This component was designed to emulate the appearance and handling of a live Mills bomb detonator, allowing soldiers to practice grenade assembly and handling without risk of detonation. The Mk3 variant features a robust metal body and is marked to indicate its inert status. Canadian-issued training ordnance such as this example played a vital role in the preparation of military personnel, providing hands-on experience in the safe environment of training facilities. These inert detonators were commonly paired with drill grenades to create a realistic, yet safe, training scenario. Original markings and period manufacturing details may be present, including manufacturing codes or inspection stamps. The WW2 Canadian Mills Drill Detonator Mk3 INERT reflects the practical and safety-focused approach to wartime training adopted by Canadian and Commonwealth forces.
