Looks all WWII to me. The bottom of the body is threaded for a fill plug screw which they did away with mid war I believe. Nice find!
Thanks!
Looks like a WWII Fuse body. Notice the Spoon.
I specialize in M1 carbines and Lugers.
The M10A3 was a later fuze, (the time was changed to 4.5 - 5.3 Secs). The M10 series fuzes I believe were also designed to go with the Low Explosive (smokeless EC Powder a British invention) filled Grenades that gave a better fragmentation pattern than HE. In which case the grenade should be grey or Black bodied. All in all a good late war item.
Hey guys,
I have another question please in regards to this grenade. Since this one appears to be an earlier grey (looks more grey than black with closer images) bodied grenade with a later fuze, I'm not clear as to why it wasn't repainted yellow or green? Any thoughts?
Thanks again!
James
