British Enfield No1 Mk1 Grenade Cup Launcher - Made in England WW1

Grenade Cup Launcher for use with the British Enfield SMLE/No1 Mk1. 7x3 inches in size and made
from steel.
This mounts to the muzzle of the No1 Rifle and was used to launch the British hand grenade, the
Mills Bomb. The finish is mostly worn but all markings etc are very well defined
Full knurling on the body, maker marked S&B with a D insdide a diamond frame.

The cup clamped to the muzzle of the Lee Enfield rifle. The rifle was held at a 45 degree angle and
a sliding gas vent on the cup was used for range adjustment - 200yds fully closed, 80 yards fully
open. There are no calibrated markings, so it was a rough estimate for anything in between.

A special gascheck disk was screwed to the base of the grenade. To use, the grenade was inserted
into the cup and the pin pulled. The stock of the rifle was planted on the ground and using a
special blank cartridge the grenade was fired.
As the grenade left the cup the safety lever would be freed.
