INERT DEACTIVATED, RARE, WW1 No. 24 MK II .303” Rifle Grenade. Sn 16513 - 16513

INERT DEACTIVATED. The Grenade, .303 inch No. 24 was an improved No.20 MK II grenade introduced to provide a rifle grenade with substantially longer range than the No. 23 grenade. The No.24 was introduced in December 1916 & modified by introduction of the No. 24 MK II on 8th March 1918. The MK II differed from the MK II by having a plain cast steel body without serrations and a die cast plug rather than an ebonite plug (see pages 80-85 of the book, Grenade by Landers). This is an excellent original example of the No. 24 MK II grenade. It is complete with correct plain cast body, brass base piece, die cast plug, spring clip and 11" steel rod. There are no visible manufacturer or date marks on this grenade. The price for this rare grenade includes UK delivery. Sn 16513
