Ive seen on the salesroom site the attached, if I've done it correctly ? I don't believe this is Edwardian, but is actually Queen Elizabeth II. Opinions please.

Very clearly a QC (St. Edward’s crown) and modern cypher, Elizabeth II for sure.

Excuse my ignorance on these things, but why would a cross strap grenade have such a flimsy pin fitting? Seems totally wrong for the application.
Cheers,
