Persian Gulf Command Posted July 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2019 I believe I have obtained an example of each variation of the Mk2 (II) and Mk2A1 Fragmentation Grenade that was use during WW2. Although there were some pre-war body colors that probably were used up early on these are the typical body type and body colors seen. Please feel free to comment and correct my assumptions of correct types if necessary. Photo 1 of 4 from left to right: 1) Plugged bottom square shoulder Yellow 2) Plugged bottom square shoulder OD green over Yellow 3) Plugged bottom rounded shoulder OD green (not over painted) 4) Solid bottom rounded shoulder yellow 5) Solid Bottom square shoulder OD green over yellow 6) Solid bottom rounded shoulder OD green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persian Gulf Command Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share #12 Posted July 7, 2019 John, The dimensions of the fuse on grenade #6 is the same as the others. The apparent shorter look is a peripheral distortion of the photograph. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
917601 Posted July 9, 2019 Share #13 Posted July 9, 2019 I am a little late in viewing, excellent grouping. For grenade collector interest would you be able to post the body manufacturers marks? Variations are always nice to see. I have an "AF", "A", "BB" and a "U". I am curious to know how your pre-43 ones are marked. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
