INERT Post WWI/Korean War US Grenade Pair-Training - Pair of US MK.II Training Hand Grenades. Differing from the simple hollow cast grenades used for training, these are just like the real thing in terms of operable characteristics. First grenade body painted red, which was the color for training in earlier years post WWI. Body stamped “46” and has a “cross” on another section. Replaced with blue ultimately circa Korean War era. The red grenade has its screw in base plug present, whereas the blue grenade is missing it. Red grenade clean with minimal oxidation on M10A1 fuze and spoon. Blue grenade heavier evidence of corrosion in parts. Much of blue paint is gone, with the crevices retaining the most. No other visible markings on body or fuze Dimensions for each 4.25” x 2.25”. These are great examples of early and later training grenades. Please see photos.
