viking4zero Posted October 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2020 Not real sure exactly what I have here, I do know it's completely inert, and was recovered from one of the WW2 era "superfund" cleanup sites in the United States. I suspect it was used in training the use of the firing mechanism more the the use of the grenade itself. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persian Gulf Command Posted October 8, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 8, 2020 The grenade is a Mk2 Training Grenade that was most likely originally painted blue. This can be determined by the size of the opening on the base of the grenade. The firing Device is a Combination Firing Device M6/M7. An interesting observation is that the Firing Device appears to be welded or soldered to the grenade. This combination would have been used as a booby trap anticipating pressure being applied to the trigger pin or a trip wire meant to pull the split ring firing the release pin.
