For your consideration is this WWII era De-Militarized fragmentation hand grenade. The Mk 2 grenade is a fragmentation type anti-personnel hand grenade that was introduced by the U.S. armed forces in 1918. It was the standard issue anti-personnel grenade used during World War II; it also saw limited service in later conflicts, including the Korean War and Vietnam War. Replacing the failed Mk 1 grenade of 1917, it was standardized in 1920 as the Mk II and re-designated the Mk 2 on April 2, 1945. This example has been rendered inert, has no fuse, and has a hole cut out of the base. This grenade is painted blue and shows a M213 Fuze attached. The condition of this grenade is De-Militarized, but in good overall condition for collectors. The measurements of this hand grenade are 4 1/2" x 2 1/4" x 2 1/2".
