otter42 Posted January 12, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 12, 2019 Looking at buying this one, this is the only pic he supplied. Is it a lighter? Mounted on a base, and looks like a real grenade, but the fuse & spoon are throwing me, value? Thanks for any help, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbmilitaria Posted January 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2019 It is a lighter. I believe the body is also commercially manufactured. I have one and the body has black crinkle finish and a slightly different "fuse". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Military Guy Posted January 12, 2019 Share #3 Posted January 12, 2019 It might be a rare and valuable "Parade Grenade". - or maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzbomb Posted January 13, 2019 Share #7 Posted January 13, 2019 Grenade body looks to be original ww2 period yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted January 13, 2019 Share #8 Posted January 13, 2019 They are original ww2 mark 2 grenade bodies but the threads for the fuse have been drilled out and made larger to accept the lighter assembly. An original fuse won't fit anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony V Posted January 14, 2019 Share #9 Posted January 14, 2019 Ken Like Robin said in his post they are original and have been reworked, they have been doing this even after WWI. Hear is a ad on the early ones from WWI. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
