Nice grenades. I collect Japanese inert ordnance but I do have some german wwi era inert grenades. The second picture, middle grenade, It seems to have red paint. I understand that to mean practice. Does this mean live fire practice or reduced charge practice or inert/empty practice in your opinion? The fuze on that middle one is a style I have not seen on eggs. Is it an actual service fuze or maybe a solid metal dummy fuze? Nice.

Jim in this case it's a practice "dummy" with solid pull friction simulator.

Timmymac, Nice collection!! i like that first picture with the russian and Finish grenades. Finish grenades are odd and I don't see them often here in the US. I like that Soviet M33 trainer stick grenade, that has to be rare. Nice stuff.

Got this improvIsed WWI Beytte grenade on the left yesterday. Obviously repainted but I don't recall ever seeing this fill indicator on an original example. Have any of y'all? The one on the right is an original (not repainted) body I've had, but I added the replica fuse recently.

Just finished this replica Nobel ignighter & added to recent Battye body I got. Thanks Paul for all your help!

Dear timmymac,

a very nice collection. Two questions:
Is the DM51 a compelte dummy with fuze, or just a mockup of practice version + fragmentation jacket?
Do the Swiss HG 85 contain original fuze dummies?
(Further pictures are very welcome)

Thank you and best regards
