Brian Keith Posted January 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2022 This grenade is Blue painted with interesting traces of yellow underneath. The “filler” hole is not threaded or chamfered. I find no casting letters or numbers on the body. I’m putting a M205A1 fuze dated 2-54 in it so I think it would be called the “Grenade, Hand, Practice, M21” at this point. Thanks for looking.

Kaptainssurplus Posted January 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2022 Yeah I would agree, its a M21, with slight chamfering. Probably an early M21 before RFX got the contract. Link to comment
Quest Master Posted January 20, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 20, 2022 The designation of Grenade, Practice M21, was used as early as 1944 (I have and original 25-grenade 1944 M21 crate). Link to comment
