After further investigation i think you may well be correct there. Although it does weigh a bit it is not magnetic, i tapped the inside where the fuze goes with a screwdriver and it does sound resin or similar to me. Definatlly not metal.
I am assuming that this would indicate a model and not a practice grenade?
Im assuming that this would have little value if i were to offer for swap or put up for auction?

I don't have many American grenades but I'm pretty sure that the proper M67 practice grenade, which is an M69, is hollow and has a hole in the base. It is designed to take a small charge to mark where it has landed.
I would say that it is more of a reproduction, probably valued at the same as the resin models of Mills bombs etc, but yeah, the fuze is fine.
Grenades are not really my thing so was going to keep it aside for a swap if it was worth anything. It arrived in a box of other stuff that i purchased as a joblot. Bit of a bad buy though i think as many of of the 20mm - 30mm rounds also have what look to be resin/wood projectiles.
Hi. Here's a cutaway I did a couple of years back of an M69 (I'd run out of good stuff to section:tinysmile_angry2_t. You'll see there's nothing inside. Cheers Colin
