INERT DEACTIVATED. This is an original early WW2 American Pineapple Mk 2 high explosive hand grenade first adopted in 1918 and used throughout the Second World War. This example has a segmented cast iron body with a letter N cast into the side. This hand grenade retains much of its original yellow painted finish underneath the later olive painted refinish none circa 1942 to old stock grenades. This yellow finish was changed to olive green in 1942 due to the grenade easily being highlighted by the yellow paint. The green blended easier with the green uniform. This grenade is fitted with its M10A2 fuse which is complete with its original fly off lever and safety pin/ring. The grenade has no hole in its base. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert grenade in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 2108
