    Finding one like that is a really good find. Not sure if you noticed the yellow paint under the olive drab. Just prior to WWII some genius general thought that painting grenades bright yellow was a good idea. These were repainted shortly after we started fighting the Japanese. Our Marines and Army personnel found out very quickly that carrying bright yellow grenades in the jungle made excellent targets. I have one of these and it is one of my prized pieces.

    Wow TC. I don't know how I missed this one. I have been reading posts all night trying to get a solid id on my MK. Here's the thread i just posted earlier.

    Help with MK II or possibly MK 2 grenade

    I would have jumped in here if I would have seen it. Mainly because they seem to be very similar.
    What fuse does yours have?
