INERT DEACTIVATED. Russian Cold War UPG-8, 3 x Training Anti-Tank Grenades And Reusable Accessories In Their Transit Case. O 1514 - O 1514

INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a heavy duty transit case comprising of three UPG-8 (Uechebnaya Protivotankovaya Granata, "Training Anti-Tank Grenade") grenades. The training grenade was used to resemble the RKG-3 series of anti-tank grenades introduced in the 1950s. In the wooden transit case are spare reusable parachute retarders, spare fly off levers, safety pins and assembly tools mostly in their original unopened paper wrappings. The reusable warhead would have contained a reloadable black powder charge that produced black smoke that is vented through holes in the heavy-gauge sheet-metal body. A new fuse and parachute can be quickly reloaded in the handle after use by using special armorer tools that are included in the kit. The box includes a list of the contents in Russian. The transit case retains most of its original green paint and has 2 heavy duty closure catches. One of the grenades shows signs of use but the other two are unmarked. 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 1514
