This is a very nice BATF approved totally pair of inert No. 36M MkI Grenades, partly cutaway for training. This type was known as the \"Mesopotamian\" variant due to its shellac-coating which was designed to keep moisture and humidity out of the detonator's fuse. The No. 36M was the British army's standard hand-grenade during WWII, and long afterwards. The pair are both WWII manufacture, with the larger of the two being dated 1943 on the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first example was fully cleaned and turned into a training aid, cut through from top to bottom, removing a small 1\/4th size slice. The entire internal structure is still visible, including the spring plunger portion of the fuse. It is totally inert, cannot be converted to an explosive device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom plug was not cut through, and reads\u003cstrong\u003e No. 36M MkI\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003e43 \u003c\/strong\u003edate on the other side. The hole is correctly threaded for the attachment of a base plate, which would allow it to be used with a rifle mounted grenade discharger. A great display piece from WWII!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second example is much smaller, only half of the grenade, and does not retain the bottom plug. The internal tube is removable and slides into the threads well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great pair of display pieces from WWII!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42209792458821,"sku":"ONSV24OFS058","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV24OFS058__01.jpg?v=1734381268","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-british-wwii-pair-of-mills-bomb-no-36m-mki-training-cutaway-grenades-dated-1943-inert","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
