Original Finnish WWII M32 Screw Top Fuze Hand Grenade Model 32 Mortar Shell

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an exceptionally rare excellent totally genuine BATF approved inert Finnish WWII M32 Hand Grenade Mortar Shell M32.

This 47mm mortar shell was used by the Finnish army during WW2, and had a System 32 fuse fitted. The tail section was removed and the base was sealed with a plug. It was used as an offensive hand grenade despite the mortar name.

The fuse is a rare bakelite screw top version. Nothing suggests that there are real problems with fragmentation of these grenades (besides fragmentation pattern probably being very random - like in most hand grenades of the era). The reason why there was no problems with fragmentation might be related to fact that the Finns used only TNT in hand grenades that they manufactured - not some less effective explosive.

 

Offered in overall excellent condition, these are exceptionally difficult to find in the U.S. collector's market.
