They were assembled and issued only before combat. The warhead and handle were screwed together and carried in a grenade pouch and the fuzes were wrapped in waxed paper and carried separately in the pouch's internal pocket. There was a hole in the outer handle to the right of the thumb catch that lined up with bars of paint on the inner handle, making a colored dot - a white dot meant safe and a red dot meant the handle assembly was cocked. It would not be armed unless the fuze tube had been inserted, which would be done only before throwing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42070765174853,"sku":"ONJR23OL0180","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR23OL0180__02.jpg?v=1728612750","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-soviet-wwii-rgd-33-inert-stick-grenade-with-fragmentation-sleeve-marked-308","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
