INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a German WW1 unfired Model of 1914 rod rifle grenade complete with its rifle rod and the brass percussion fuze. The 1914 rifle grenade replaced the earlier model 1913 grenade and to keep the weight of both the 1913 and 1914 rifle grenades the same for ranging tables, the explosive content was reduced. The grenade retains most of its original green painted finish and the top of the grenade unscrews off. 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 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. O 2308
