MK 2 grenade for review

[SammyT]

Hi,  I'm not very knowledgeable about MK2's and am looking for some info on this one.   Is this WWII vintage or a $5 fleamarket item?   All comments and info are welcome.  Thanks.

$5 flea market reproduction. Real MK2 don't have the grind marks you see on the bottom, but also the fuze is a modern m228 fuze that has different threads that wouldn't fit into a real mk2.

Repro, in addition, no serrations up the neck and base another give away.

It's definitely a postwar fuze...Bodes
