Original Items: Only One Lot of 3 Available. This is a wonderful lot of battlefield dug relic grenades. All three appear to have been found by the same individual, and all are in partial condition.

Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are not considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.

The grenades in this lot:
- French Foug M1916 Inert Lemon Grenade or Citron modèle 1916 grenade body without fuse or plug. The covers were especially easy to lose, and often pressed into service elsewhere. The Foug modèle 1916 citron grenade is an evolution of the 'asparagus' grenade design, mainly designed to reduce the weight and improve the fragmentation properties. The shape of the body was modified, as it had been found that the shape was more important than the grooves on the outside when related to proper fragmentation.
- British No. 23 Mk. II Mills Bomb Grenade, we are not 100% sure what the model is as the bottom plug is gone, which would have had the exact designation. The pin is still intact but the screw, bottom plug, and spoon are all absent. The No. 23 Mk 1, the hand/rifle-grenade had a base plug drilled with a threaded hole for a rifle launching rod. The No. 23 Mk II had a new-style iron base plug that was easier to tighten with the fingers without the need for a spanner. The No. 23 Mk III was a new-style body with a larger filler hole plug and more solid -lever lugs/ears but retaining the Mk II style plug.
- British WWI hand/catapult/spring gun, No 15 (Cricket ball or Ball Grenade) - This grenade (also known as the 'Ball grenade' or 'Cricket ball grenade') was segmented by grooves inside the body. It was introduced in July 1915 and used during the Battle of Loos in September but was susceptible to damp and was withdrawn later that year. A scarce example with the original plug although the threads are too worn for it to screw in.

These three are in relic condition and their appearance reflects such. There is no paint present and all three have pitting, oxidation and cracking.

Comes ready for further research and display.
