Gunner Bailey Posted 12 November , 2007 Share Posted 12 November , 2007 Can anyone put a name to the marks on a No 36 Mills Bomb I've just aquired? It's pretty rare to find a grenade with matching marks so I'm pleased about that, but I've not seen this maker before. The Body - under the filler screw is marked F.i.Co. The Baseplug is marker No 36 M1 F.I.Co 9.17 Please see photos attached. Any help would be appreciated - Thanks Gunner Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 12 November , 2007 Share Posted 12 November , 2007 It's the Falkirk Iron Company in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Bailey Posted 12 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 12 November , 2007 It's the Falkirk Iron Company in Scotland. Hi Max. That's interesting as normally all their grenades have the name FALKIRK In caps for No5.s. Did they change with the 36? I've also got an odd No 5 plug with F.K. Is this them as well?

Max Poilu Posted 12 November , 2007 Share Posted 12 November , 2007 Unusually Falkirk seem to have used a series of trademarks: Falco, Falkirk, FI Co. and FICL too. F.K. is not on any list I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
