Hi Guys
The great sort out continues & with being house ridden for a few days took the chance to empty a few crates & found these.
Grenades not my thing but I know a little & have some thoughts!! So bear with me:eek:oh:
L - R 1st pic
No ideas on this one only ident I can find is 3.50 stamped on the top of the striker/plunger? Delay/fuse time I assume?
Next is a Flash/Bang. Top of spoon has a sticker with DELAY. Verzogerung ca. 0.5s.
Next two I thing are Russian/Eastern Bloc? 1st has DS-62. -67 .06 stamped in the spoon. 2nd has Y3PrM -65 & 61 in a double circle on the spoon
Next DM32 on the spoon & AF on the body with A elswhere on the body - Is this an early drill/training `pineapple`??
Last US MK - II 44 on the brass filler plug & some barely legible/complete writting on the top of the spoon. M22? 003? MC17???

2nd I know is a No 69 MKI
This is in very good condition with the red tropical crosses & the green Baratol or Amatol main charge. Base is embossed with NO69 I D.L.R 40
All in very good condition & the safety pin lanyard assy is in excellent condition.
Thought I`d take a pic of it stripped.

Cheers in advance for time/help (as ever):xd:

Hi

The first one is a Danish M 1923 as already Identified
the flashbang I am not sure about
the next with DS62 is East German, at least the fuze is
the next is Russian manufacture
The next is a West German DM28 I think, copy of the Mk2A1 but a drill/practice version
and the last you know although the brass filler plug doesn't seem right, I am not aware that the US used brass for the filler plugs.

Hope this helps.
Cheers
 
Second item is a NICO 9 bang stun/distraction grenade. Used by many countries worldwide in various forms. Tony.
 
Cheers for all the info chaps
If anyones interested this lot including the 69 (grenade!!) are for sale/swap as I am determined to limit my collection - that`s my NY resolution!! Honest
