Open to peoples opinions whether its genuine or a fake? Its worn and all plugs remove. Wasn't sure if its a well made copy or genuine. It says 40, so I presume its dated 1940

These are very tricky to determine as genuine. (A friend of mine in the plastics industry made some resin copies years ago which were cast from an original. Sold to members of our living history group)
Some being sold here in quantity: M564 British WW2 Mod 69 Grenade - 02-Military Items
A large quanity of originals were dug on farmland about 10 years ago now.
Sorry I cannot give you a straight answer on this one.
Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ashley,
this is my 69 grnd, it is legt from my grenade collection i had, it is original so you can judge for yourself about your,s. They were the first non lethal grenade to be made in W.W.2, hope this helps.
Dave,
Mine is the exact same as your panzer. Prob legit then cheers. Thanks for the help guys
any doubt just unscrew the plugs and look under them they usually have some small letters or numbers which are missing on the repros ive seen
They got little marks on them both. one has 6-1H and the other 10-2H
Hi Ashley,
just to let you know mine has 134, on one and 34-2H, on the other i never did bother to get the rest of this grenade but as it has just come to light again i might as well complete it.
dave.
