Hi there! Thought I'd share my latest trophy I picked up recently. It's a Grey pre-1926 type 2 body "I D" -7 38 Marked Mk2 grenade. Looks to be in swell condition to! Only took a rag with simple green & elbow grease and some compressed air to get the grim off! Now she's looking great! (even though there is a brownish tint on the paint that doesn't show on the photos)

 

The cut back fuze has a nice early mouse trap in it to..the spring could be swapped out but I'll leave it for now. And yes its de-milled the fuze stem is cut off (kinda looks like a pipe cutter sort of "cut"). The short spoon has a rusted freckle patina which I'll leave as is. Overall I'm quite happy with it..I can't wait to use her at WWII events to display as an early frag.
