Norman Bonney supplied me with the attached info. Norm is one, if not the most knowledgeable person on British grenades. He is/was head of British EOD and we go back a long time. [...]
"It is the monogram for Gestetner; they made a great number of bodies and tails but quite a few other companies did too (Patent Diecasting Co, Sparklets, Westinghouse Brake, Rawlings, Metropolitan Vickers, Wolverhampton Diecasting). Other companies made all the bits and pieces that were needed to assemble a grenade. I'm not sure about Dominion & Colony manufacturers."
