Norwegian MK2 Pineapple Grenade Copies- any info?

Norwegian grenade

Cheers Freaky but i have a spare fuze i can use.
I'll get some pics posted when i get it finished...
Thanks for the offer!

All the best

Can anyone provide photos or any information on Norwegian copies of the US Mk2 frag? I'm interested to know such things as whether they existed during WW2, and if they have similar specs to the originals...etc. Hopefully I'll be receiving one in a few days, in which case I will provide photos when I can. It has a 'Tennmek' fuse if this helps.
Thanks!

I know this thread has been launched a while ago, but here are pictures of the Norwegian MKII (body marked 'HV') with it's Tennmek M204A2 fuze.

The body is exactly shaped and painted like the US MKIIA1 (paint is a little damaged and fainted, and someone had painted 2 white crosses onto it? ), but the markings in the casting are HV. The fuze assembly detonator does not unscrew like the M60F1 training fuze used on the M21F1 practice grenade.
