WW2 Canadian Mills No 36 Cutaway Training Aid INERT

The WW2 Canadian Mills No 36 Cutaway Training Aid INERT is an educational example of the iconic Mills No 36 grenade as used by Canadian forces during the Second World War. This training aid is rendered completely inert and features a precision cutaway section to reveal the internal mechanisms, including the striker, spring, and fuse assembly, allowing for safe handling and instruction. The Mills No 36 grenade was widely deployed by British and Commonwealth forces from 1915 through World War II, with the No 36 variant introduced in 1918 and adopted extensively by Canadian troops. This cutaway version was employed for training purposes, assisting instructors and trainees in understanding the operation and safety features of the device. The body is cast from metal with period-correct markings, and all functional components are fixed for demonstration only. This item exemplifies historical military training techniques and the technological development of twentieth-century ordnance.
