Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice BATF approved totally inert example of a No. 36 MkII Grenade. This type was known as the “Mesopotamian” variant due to its shellac-coating which was designed to keep moisture and humidity out of the detonator’s fuse. The No. 36 was the British army’s standard hand-grenade during WWII, and long afterwards. This wonderful example is complete with internal parts (no explosives!) and much of the original shellac coating. It has both traces of a green stripe around the middle and red X’s. The shellac coating and red X’s identify it as the “waterproof” No.36M model. It is totally inert, cannot be converted to an explosive device.
