GeneralCheese Posted January 21, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2018 Here's something I've been hoping to get for a year. I saw this originally at a large once-annual flea market last year, and passed on it as I didn't know what it was. Well, that night, I found out what I had passed on and hoped that it would be there again the next year. Today I went back and luckily it was, and here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasemonkey247 Posted January 21, 2018 Share #7 Posted January 21, 2018 Looks stunning, never seen a real one, I'v only seen them in ammunition inspection guide photos! Quite the Gem! Good hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rldarmstr Posted January 21, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 21, 2018 Nice, now you need the MKII. I saw a couple MKII gas grenades for sale a while back but the guy was way out of line on the price. As much as I wanted one I had to pass. Congrats on your find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundance Posted January 21, 2018 Share #12 Posted January 21, 2018 Is this like a tear gas or pepper gas grenade? I'm not familiar with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCheese Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share #13 Posted January 21, 2018 Is this like a tear gas or pepper gas grenade? I'm not familiar with them. Yes, it is a tear gas grenade. I believe this was the first of this design where it burned a solid material to release the gas, which is still used today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
