It has been deactivated to be completely inert according to BATF guidelines. \u003cstrong\u003eNot Available for Export.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Italian WWI BPD Grenade was mostly used on the Austro-Italian front during WWI, where most examples have been found. The BPD has a cylindrical cast body with a threaded cover on the top. This cover protects the fuze, which had to be struck to a hard surface to ignite the delay. The grenade was filled with explosives, with a guncotton core to distribute the ignition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is in great shape, with the original Brass fuse cover, which still unscrews to show the internal fuze structure. The top of the grenade also unscrews to show the inside of the body. The internals are a bit rusty, due to age and also reactions from the explosives and propellant. A small fragment of the original fuze wick can still be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very nice example of a rare WWI Italian grenade, ready to display!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43579334000709,"sku":"ONJR25AUOR05","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR25AUOR05__01.jpg?v=1757624909","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-italian-wwi-b-p-d-hand-grenade-with-brass-fuze-screw-cover-inert-5","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
