Hi Lida,

They were probably made by a small company called 'A.C.S'. Which was a
partnership between M.Lewis & G. Sharpe. I have one of their old
catalogue's (Ibought the grenades/Mills Bombs for the grenade boxes in
one of my Ferret's from them, as well as some German Stick Grenades),
but there is no address only two phone numbers on it 01379 642983 and
01274 722875. I could have sworn they operated from either Suffolk or
Norfolk in England. If you have no joy with this lead an old friend
Mike Priest Firearms & Militaria specialises in replica pyro etc. you
can give him a call on 01303 874432 (St Marys Bay, Kent), is very likely
to help.

regards

Colin Brookes
