WW2 No.36 Type II British 'Rifle' Mills Grenade Table Lighter

For sale is an Original Converted WW2 No.36 Type II British 'Rifle' Mills Grenade That’s Been Turned Into a Table Lighter. This is in good condition and working but needs a new flint. 

On the front is the filler plug, that is marked with a “Z” meaning the plug is made from Zinc. 

This example is also fitted with a rifle grenade attachment base plate, so it could be launched from a rifle cup dispenser. The plate now has a chromed plated flared cover fitted to the top, to make a more attractive looking base.

When the base plate is unscrewed you then also access and unscrew the base plug. With both removed you can access the flint screw and spring and you can see the main body is filled with wadding that will hold the lighter fuel and allow it to soak the wick.

The lighter mechanism itself, is in full working order and works by pushing the modified original lever down which releases the sprung wick cover and creates a spark to light the wick.

This measures 6.6cm in diameter x 11.8cm in height. 

This will be sent via Royal Mail tracked 24 and dispatched within two working days.
