RFX MKII Grenade

Wanted to share a few pictures of the solid bottom RFX MKII grenade I have. Found this a few months back caked in some ugly green house paint. I cleaned off what I could without damaging the original paint too much.

Unfortunately the last image is the best I can do of the inside of the grenade with the equipment I have...no borescope here.

I talked to a few other collectors when I got this and the consensus reached was that it was authentic. I'd like to know what you all think of this piece.

I agree it looks legit to me. This is a rather rare grenade as RFX was better known for its practice grenades which had a smooth hole in the bottom sometimes plugged with a cork.
