INERT DEACTIVATED. German WW1 Unfired Model of 1914 Rod Rifle Grenade with Ranging Disc. Sn. 12684 - 12684

INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a German WW1 unfired Model of 1914 rod rifle grenade complete with its screw on reversible ranging disc which, depending on the way it was fitted to the base of the rifle grenade reduced the range to 25% or 50% of the grenade range when fired without the ranging disc. The body of the grenade is of cast iron which has cast in prefragmentation lines on it. The brass fuse is a straight impact type with a built in safety sleeve combined with a locking ball bearing that was set back on firing, releasing the ball bearing therefore arming the fuse for impact. The steel rod of the rifle grenade has a copper gas check fitted to the bottom of it to help prevent propellant blow by when fired with its blank cartridge. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this grenade in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 12684
