Japanese WW2 91/97 Hand Grenade
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy this Japanese WW2 91/97 Handgrenade.... It started off as a type 91 Grenade to be used with a booster in a T-89 Launcher (Knee Mortar)... To keep from being used in the Knee Mortar, metal welds were added to the bottom rim of the Grenade and the threads were taken out of the booster well..It can no longer be used as a mortar round, just as standard handgrenade...BILL
