I found this in cornwall in september, in sand dunes not that far from where i found the 1940 303 round.
Can you please tell me what its off and what was its purpose?

Again many thanks in advance

Hello Dave, Basically what you have there is the base plug of a Mk.1 Mills Grenade 1940 which matches your 303 date, more info on this site - http://www.millsgrenades.co.uk
