jmd62 Posted January 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2021 Hey guys, Any thoughts on what the red paint on this grenade would indicate, if any? It has certainly been there for a very long time. It's only on the top portion of the grenade. Thanks! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptainssurplus Posted January 23, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2021 The interwar MK2s had a period were they were painted red. This could be from that time but would need photos of the entire grenade to make sure it is a early interwar version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd62 Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted January 23, 2021 This one doesn't show that it was painted red, but rather some red over the green toward the top only. It's a solid bottom example so not an interwar version. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptainssurplus Posted January 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 23, 2021 Now with this photo, I can see it better, my guess is either too much sealant was used or some type of chemical reaction from something. I cant think of anything else that would cause that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd62 Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted January 23, 2021 A bit of a head scratcher for sure. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
